(Estherville)– The search for a suspect wanted in an investigation brought a large law enforcement presence to Fort Defiance State Park near Estherville earlier today (Monday).
In a press release, the Emmet County Sheriff’s Office says out of an abundance of caution, a perimeter was established around the park. Law enforcement officers could also be seen at a neighboring golf course and in an area just north of the park. The release says K9’s and drones were utilized in the search, and that the suspect was eventually located and taken into custody.
It goes on to say the incident remains under investigation and that there is currently no threat to the public, adding that more detailed information will be released in coming days.
