This weekend we had a special guest in our JPD holding cell. A Good Samaritan called Friday night reporting an injured bald eagle on the beach in Auke Bay. The eagle was rescued by the citizens and brought to JPD where the nightshift sergeant safely secured it awaiting trained avian caregivers. We’re told the eagle is receiving treatment for its injuries and recuperating at the Alaska Raptor Center in Sitka.
