Lt. Jonathon Simpson and Ptl. Kyle Cutshaw arrived in the area. Officers walked behind a residence and observed a rear door that had been forced open. Officers entered the residence to check on the subjects inside.

During a sweep of the residence, officers located Dusty W. Collins Age 35 of Madison, hiding next to a bed. Officers detained Collins. Collins stated that he was living at the residence.
