STANTON, Neb. (AP) – Authorities say a dog and a Nebraska State Patrol helicopter have been used to help find an armed man in a rural, wooded area in northeast Nebraska.
Deputies were sent to a residence Sunday evening. Stanton County Sheriff Mike Unger says a man had left the residence carrying a gun, and there was concern the man might harm himself.
The man was found about 2 1/2 hours later in northeast Stanton County and taken to Faith Regional Health Services in Norfolk for evaluation. His name was not released.
No injuries to the searchers or the man were reported.
