A Juneau man allegedly went on a vandalism spree Saturday night and Sunday morning, smashing windows with rocks, according to a release from the Juneau Police <\/a>Department<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At about 1:46 a.m. Sunday, someone reported to JPD that several downtown businesses had been vandalized, according to the release. Police went downtown, according to the release, and found seven businesses had been vandalized: the Downtown Public Library, E&M Oriental Store, Marine View Apartments, Northern Treasures, Port Electronics, Red Dog Saloon and The Taqueria.<\/p>\n

Through their investigation, officers identified 25-year-old Juneau man Monte Skon Nix as a suspect in the vandalism, according to the release. Later in the day Sunday, JPD officers arrested Nix on three counts of third-degree criminal mischief (a class C felony) and one count of fourth-degree criminal mischief (a class A misdemeanor). Nix was taken to Lemon Creek Correctional Center and held without bail. Additional charges are pending, according to the release. Alcohol appears to have been a factor, according to the release.<\/p>\n

The combined damages, according to the release, are estimated to be between $8,000 and $12,000. JPD notified most of the business owners, according to the release, and City and Borough of Juneau building maintenance employees helped with boarding up the windows of businesses that couldn’t be notified.<\/p>\n

In April 2017, Nix was the victim in a stabbing at a beach party out Thane Road<\/a>. Joshua Levi Brown was arrested soon afterward for the stabbing and is currently facing assault charges.<\/p>\n

After that case, Nix told the Empire that he was blacked out from drinking when the stabbing occurred. He explained to the Empire that when he’s blacked out, he’s a “totally different person,” and can get into arguments. The JPD release stated that alcohol was a factor in the vandalism this weekend.<\/p>\n

The case with Brown came up at Nix’s arraignment Monday as Judge Thomas Nave tried to assign Nix a lawyer. Nave determined that Nix qualified for a public defender, but District Attorney Angie Kemp pointed out that the Public Defenders Agency is representing Brown. With this conflict of interest in play, Nave said Nix’s lawyer will likely come from the Office of Public Advocacy.<\/p>\n

Nave scheduled the next hearing in the case for 3:30 p.m. April 19.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
