ONTARIO, Wis. (WFRV) – A 41-year-old woman from Wisconsin was arrested Monday morning following a welfare check that escalated into an armed standoff involving an aluminum bat. According to the Vernon County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were dispatched shortly before 11:00 a.m. to a residence on Hoff Valley Road after receiving a request for a welfare check. The requestor, who regularly communicates with Stacie L. Welter, reported concerns due to a lack of contact since the previous week, dogs running loose, and an unplowed steep driveway.

Welter was inside the home and reportedly armed with an aluminum bat. She advanced toward the door but complied when the deputy de-escalated the situation and convinced her to put down the weapon. While attempting to establish further communication, Welter allegedly picked up a metal rod and advanced toward the deputy. The deputy deployed a stun gun to subdue her, and Welter was apprehended without further incident.
