Washington fugitive arrested 2nd time in Juneau

Published: June 11, 2012 

JUNEAU -- A Washington state man on the lam has been arrested in Juneau, the second time in three years he's been caught in Alaska's capital.

Police and FBI agents took 29-year-old Christopher Craig James in custody Saturday night in a parking lot.

KINY radio reports a warrant charging him with escape from community custody had been issued by authorities in Washington state, where he was being held on a drug possession charge.

Juneau police say in March 2009 they arrested Johnson after he fled Washington and a warrant was issued on robbery and escape charges. That arrest came after a six-hour standoff with police.

He's current being held at the Lemon Creek Correctional Facility on a no-bail status.
