A 36-year-old man is in custody at the Shawano County Jail after an overnight investigation at a home in Wittenberg over the weekend.
On Saturday night, the Shawano County Sheriff’s office received a call about a seemingly intoxicated man entering a home with two firearms. Witnesses said he then ran to another nearby home leaving behind a firearm. Neighbors were ordered to evacuate and shelter was provided at the Village of Wittenberg Village Hall as authorities surrounded the home and tried to make contact with the suspect. The suspect was taken into custody early Sunday morning. Several departments, including the Marathon County Multi Jurisdiction S.W.A.T. Team, and the Village of Tigerton Police Department were involved.
The suspect’s name hasn’t been released.
