On 12/15/2021, Hobart-Lawrence police officers responded to a 911 call reporting a domestic disturbance at an apartment on Centerline Drive after a woman reported that Jeffrey Patnode threatened to kill her and fired a handgun. Officers arrived, secured the complex, and established a perimeter while attempting contact. Police escalated the operation with SWAT support, tactical vehicles, and officers from multiple agencies while conducting a search after determining Patnode had moved into nearby woods.
