An Alaska ferry in Juneau was evacuated early Wednesday (2-10-21) after an unticketed Juneau man drove his blue Toyota Tundra pickup on board and allegedly threatened crew members.
The LeConte was loading around 6:15 a.m. at the Auke Bay terminal for a round-trip sailing to Pelican. That’s when a man drove around the line of cars and boarded the vessel and told crew members he was armed and mentioned a bomb.
