Posted

As reported by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Monday, Nov. 25:

On 11/23/2024 the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office (LISO) was contacted by the Oneida County Sheriff’s Office (ONSO) of a possible domestic disturbance that was reported to have happened in a vehicle in Lincoln County. LISO was advised that a Merrill man, 26, had battered his girlfriend, 26, of Rhinelander. It was reported that this incident had taken place somewhere on STH 17 south of Gleason. According to information provided by ONSO, the male party had left the scene in the vehicle and the female party, along with her child, 4, had left on foot but was later picked up by a relative. During the investigation, deputies were able to make contact with the female victim, at which time it was learned that she did have injuries consistent with a domestic battery. The male subject was located at a later time and arrested for the incident. He was transported to the Lincoln County Jail, where he was booked for disorderly conduct and battery with the domestic enhancer, as well as strangulation. LISO also received assistance from both the Marathon and Langlade County Sheriff’s Offices, as well as the Rhinelander, Antigo and Merrill Police Departments.

On 11/24/2024 the 911 Center took a call of vehicle in the ditch on Tannery Rd. south of USH 8 in the Township of Bradley. Upon arrival, the deputy spoke with the husband and wife, both 39, of Tomahawk, about what had happened. The female party first claimed to be the driver, but it was learned a short time later that the male was actually the driver. In talking with the male, he was showing signs of impairment. The deputy asked the driver to do some sobriety tests, which he agreed to do. As a result of those tests, he was placed under arrest for a first offense of OWI. The male was later released to a responsible party.
