(Juneau) A bench warrant was issued Monday for a Juneau man accused of running from police. Tracy Froehlich was slated to make his initial appearance in court Monday on a felony count of Fleeing. According to court records, he did not show.
Froehlich was reportedly driving while his license was revoked in November of 2021. A Juneau police officer spotted him and pulled his vehicle over. Froehlich allegedly provided another person’s name when asked for his.
The 66-year-old then reportedly put his vehicle in drive and sped towards his home address, approximately 676 feet away. When Froehlich reached his apartment, the complaint says he ran for the front door but an officer grabbed hold of him.
Froehlich allegedly resisted law enforcement commands and a bystander had to help. Police had to eventually deploy a Taser to take Froelich into custody.
If convicted, Froehlich faces over three-and-a-half years behind bars.
