MENASHA, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The subject of a standoff in Menasha is still at large, but a two-year-old child is OK, police say.
On Friday around 5:30 p.m. a Village of Fox Crossing officer saw a traffic violation near Appleton Road and Ninth Street.
The officer initiated a traffic stop and the vehicle pulled over in the 1100 block of Geneva Road, near London Street.
During the traffic stop, police say a male passenger and a two-year-old child left the vehicle and went inside a nearby apartment.
Officers say the man gave them a fake name and it was discovered the man had active warrants for his arrest.
Authorities tried to contact the man inside the apartment, but the man refused to communicate with them.
Police then wanted to get the two-year-old out of an upstairs bedroom safely.
Officers say since they could not enter the bedroom from the inside, they were able to use a ladder and carried the child from the second story of the apartment.
No one was injured but officials say the man with the warrants is still at large.
