Fond du Lac Police Arrest Man After Domestic Violence Shelter-in-Place

A 32-year-old man was arrested in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, following an active police incident at a residence on Martin Avenue, which led to a shelter-in-place order for nearby residents. The situation began when an officer, following up on an unrelated matter, was approached by family members expressing concerns about the man who was reportedly holding a box cutter and blocking a 29-year-old woman and her 8-month-old child inside the apartment. The suspect released the mother and child after additional police arrived, and officers used flash bangs and an explosive breach tactic to enter the residence, arresting the man without further harm to the victims. Multiple reports of domestic violence throughout the day contributed to the response, and rescue vehicles and K-9 units were involved. Authorities advised residents to avoid the area during the ongoing investigation, emphasizing a coordinated law enforcement effort that ensured a safe outcome. Similar shelter-in-place orders were also issued in Moscow, Idaho, though details were limited there.
