Two Arrested in Marathon County Shooting (10)
Two people are in custody after a shooting incident in the Township of Plover at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday night.
Lieutenant Frank Hanousek with the Marathon County Sheriff’s Department says the incident began as a dispute among four people in a home. Eventually things got physical between the two suspects and a shot was fired.
The suspects involved in the shooting were arrested two hours later in the City of Wausau.
"Initially they are being held on first degree attempted reckless homicide, aggravated battery, burglary with use of a dangerous weapon and going armed while intoxicated," said Lieutenant Frank Hanousek.
Newschannel 7 also spoke to a neighbor today who's lived in the area for more than thirty years. He said he was surprised to hear the news of this happening overnight, where the area is usually a very safe and quiet neighborhood.
"They're pretty good people up there. I've known em' since I was a kid here so but they're great people," neighbor James Tautges said of the men who live at the Highland Drive address.
Both suspects are expected to make appearances in Marathon County Court on Monday.
