A Juneau man accused of a shooting on Thanksgiving was indicted Thursday on seven felony accounts, according to court records.<\/p>\n
A Juneau grand jury charged Micah W. Nelson, 27, with one charge of first-degree assault, one charge of second-degree assault, three counts of third-degree assault and two counts of third-degree weapons misconduct, according to the indictment. Four of those assault charges are for the alleged shooting of a 46-year-old man, and one assault charge is for making a woman feel frightened on the same day. The two weapons charges are for Nelson — who has a previous felony conviction — having a 9 mm handgun and a .69 flintlock pistol, the indictment states.<\/p>\n
According to electronic court records, Nelson’s previous felony convictions are for drug possession and reckless driving.<\/p>\n
Nelson was arrested Dec. 2<\/a>, more than a week after a shooting occurred on Thanksgiving that landed the 46-year-old man in the hospital. The shooting happened in the 1000 block of Coogan Drive and was believed to be connected to the sale of narcotics, according to a Juneau Police Department release. The victim was in stable condition within hours of the shooting, police said at the time.<\/p>\n He had two felony warrants out for his arrest, for probation and parole violations, in addition to being the suspect in the shooting, police said at the time<\/a>. Police nearly arrested Nelson when he was spotted near Dzantik’i Heeni Middle School on Nov. 27. The school went into “stay put” mode<\/a>, keeping students were not allowed to leave the building. JPD Lt. Krag Campbell said at the time that it was just a precaution, and that there wasn’t any indication that Nelson was armed or dangerous at that time.<\/p>\n Police arrested Nelson a few days later at a home in the 1000 block of Glacier Highway, JPD’s release said. <\/p>\n \u2022 Contact reporter Alex McCarthy at 523-2271 or amccarthy@juneauempire.com.
