After stopping the vehicle, the deputy made contact with the driver, a Tomahawk woman, 51, and noticed signs of impairment. The deputy requested the driver to do sobriety tests, and as a result of those tests, she was placed under arrest for 4th offense OWI.

The caller, a Merrill woman, 23, and her boyfriend, a Merrill man, 31, were arguing, and she was reporting that she and her children were fearful for their safety. The R/P was unable to provide her location and requested dispatch to track the call. During this same time, dispatch received a second call, this time from a Wausau man, 30, who was reporting that his tires were slashed and he was cut on his face, when the male from the original disturbance call pulled a knife on him and attacked him. Investigation revealed that the woman and the second man were traveling together when they experienced car troubles. A short time later, her boyfriend pulled up and found them alongside the road. That was when the boyfriend confronted the two and armed himself with a knife. The boyfriend denied any knowledge of how the second man was injured.
