Lincoln County sheriff's deputies spent several hours Friday night searching for an armed man.
Most of the effort Friday night focused on a rural area a few miles north of the intersection of Highway 64 and County E in the Town of Harding, which is West of Merrill.
A Lincoln County sheriff's lieutenant tells NewsChannel 7 they were called to a home with the report of a domestic dispute at about 5:45 Friday evening.
The man involved fled the scene prior to deputies getting there. He was reportedly carrying a rifle.
Deputies searched for about 3.5 hours. They called it off just before 10 when they deemed there was no danger to the public.
A check with the department Saturday morning indicated they were expected to release more information Saturday afternoon.
