A man was taken into custody over the weekend in Brown County following a disturbance involving an incident regarding a male possibly armed with a gun.
The sheriff’s office said its deputies and officers from the Hobart-Lawrence and Pulaski Police Departments responded to the disturbance about 4pm in the Village of Hobart.
While law enforcement was responding, the armed male left in a vehicle which was later located in the parking lot of Walmart East.
