TOMAHAWK – A man is in custody following a pair of threats called into a Tomahawk store.
According to a Monday, Nov. 24 post on Trig’s Facebook page, a threat was called into Trig’s Tomahawk, 662 N. 4th St., on Sunday, Nov. 23. A second threat was received on Monday, Nov. 24.
Trig’s said both calls were ultimately determined to be false alarms.
In a Tuesday, Nov. 25 release, the Tomahawk Police Department (TPD) announced that Nicholas P. Wolf had been identified as a suspect and was arrested as part of a multi-jurisdictional investigation into the threats.
TPD said there was no continued danger to the community as of Tuesday, Nov. 25. The investigation was ongoing as of that date.
Tomahawk Police Chief Al Elvins said he is requesting that individuals with information regarding the threats contact Sergeant Matt Gorell or Detective John White at 715-453-2121.
“As always, Chief Elvins stated his primary goal is to protect the residents of Tomahawk and provide a safer community,” TPD said. “The Tomahawk Police Department would like to sincerely thank the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office, Fond Du Lac Police Department, Oneida County Sheriff’s Office, Rhinelander Police Department, Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation and all of the staff at Trig’s of Tomahawk.”
“As we reflect on these events, we want to extend our sincere gratitude to everyone involved,” Trig’s stated. “To our incredible associates – thank you for acting quickly, calmly and exactly as trained to ensure everyone’s safety. To the Tomahawk Police Department, who arrived in under a minute, and all assisting agencies – your swift action, professionalism and dedication mean more to us than we can express. To our guests – the understanding and support you showed even while you were being inconvenienced during a holiday week speaks volumes of the wonderful community we live and work in.”
Trig’s said it is “especially grateful for the safety of our team, our guests and the remarkable first responders who work tirelessly to protect our community.”
“Thank you, Tomahawk, for your support,” Trig’s said.
The store was open for business as of Monday, Nov. 24.
No further information regarding Wolf or the investigation had been released as of 8 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 26.
This story will be updated as additional information is released.
UPDATE: On Monday, Dec. 1, Wolf, 26, of Tomahawk, was charged with two felony counts of Bomb Scares and two felony counts of Making Terrorist Threats.
A $10,000.00 cash bond was set by Judge Galen Bayne-Allison. Under terms of the bond, Wolf cannot have contact with any Trig’s location in Wisconsin and may not have any electronic devices, except for a phone to be used for emergencies only.
Wolf is scheduled to appear in Lincoln County court on Monday, Dec. 22 for an adjourned initial appearance.
