EMBARRASS, WI (WSAU) – Two people are under arrest in Waupaca County after a New Year’s Eve shooting incident.
Dispatchers received a call reporting shots fired at a home on the 300-block of High Street in the Town of Embarrass around 8pm Saturday night.
When sheriff’s deputies arrived they found a 39-year-old man with cuts on his hand. He was taken to the hospital and then booked into the Waupaca County jail. An 18-year-old male was also taken into custody.
The older man initially went to a neighbor’s house claiming that he’d been shot in the chest and that an intruder had abducted his family. Neither claim was true.
The Waupaca County DA’s office is reviewing the case for possible charges.
No names have been released.
Clintonville police and the Clintonville Area Ambulance assisted at the scene.
