As reported by the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office Monday, April 14:
On 4/9/2025 a deputy on patrol stopped a vehicle near the intersection of Birchwood Ave. and N. 4th St. in the City of Tomahawk, as the driver didn’t have a valid driver’s license. The deputy made contact with the driver, a Tomahawk man, 44, and confirmed that he had a suspended driver’s license. The deputy also learned that the driver was wanted by the Adams County Sheriff’s Office on a warrant. The man was arrested and taken to the Lincoln County Jail for the warrant.
On 4/13/2025 a deputy on patrol stopped a vehicle on Hillside Dr. and Wendorf Dr. in the Town of Merrill for not having license plates. When the deputy stopped the vehicle, a second vehicle stopped behind the deputy’s patrol car. A second squad then pulled up behind the second vehicle to make contact with the driver. The first deputy made contact with the driver, a Merrill woman, 39, of the car he stopped. While the two deputies spoke with the drivers, a K9 officer with Merrill PD performed a walk around with his partner, and the dog indicated a positive alert. As a result of the positive alert, both vehicles were searched, and the second vehicle was found to have meth and drug paraphernalia inside.
