On 12/2/2025 a deputy on patrol conducted a traffic stop on a vehicle on CTH O near STH 86 in the Town of Tomahawk. The deputy had reported that the vehicle was seen deviating from the designated lane of traffic and speeding. When the deputy made contact with the driver, he refused to identify himself or provide proof of insurance. The deputy noticed signs of impairment, as well as open intoxicants in the vehicle. The deputy requested the driver to exit the vehicle; however, the driver refused to do so. The driver, who was later identified as a Rhinelander man, was then assisted out of the vehicle by the deputy and placed under arrest for a first offense of OWI and resisting/obstructing an officer. He was later transported to the Lincoln County Jail and turned over to corrections officers.

On 12/4/2025 the Sheriff’s Office was notified by the Tomahawk Police Department of a domestic disturbance that they had received information on and that their officers were presently out with the victim at an address in the City of Tomahawk.
