An incident on Tuesday sends one man to jail after an hour long stand off. It was just before 3pm when Lake Hallie Police were called to the 2700 block of CTY TK OO for a disturbance call.
It had been reported that a male subject was intoxicated and armed with a handgun. While armed he made threats to kill others and himself and pointed the handgun at the complainant. Lake Hallie Police and Chippewa County Deputies responded to the scene and the subject responded to efforts to leave the apartment building, but would not fully co-operate and exit.
While engaged in conversation and distracted, a Chippewa County Deputy saw an opportunity to physically escort the subject to the ground, safely ending the incident with 58 year old Gerald F Nauer,of Lake Hallie.
Nauer was arrested and transported to the Chippewa County Jail and
charged with Endangering Safety while Armed and Intoxicated as well as Intentional Pointing a Firearm at a person.
