(KNZA)--Details are released regarding the Holton domestic battery case Sunday night that sparked a manhunt and an alert to residents to stay indoors.

According to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, his office was joined by troopers from the Kansas Highway Patrol and a Nemaha County Sheriff's Deputy in assisting the Holton Police Department in the investigation that led to the arrest of 30-year-old Randall Hartman, Jr.

The Topeka resident had fled from the scene of the alleged domestic incident, which occurred around 9:30 in the 500 block of Ohio Street, in Holton.

Believed to be armed with a rifle, which he apparently used to threaten his victim, the search for Hartman covered all of Holton and the immediate surrounding area.

He was located around 2:00 Monday morning near the old Central School, located in the 400 block of New Jersey Street, in Holton.

He was taken into custody on charges including attempted murder in the 2nd degree, aggravated domestic battery, domestic battery, damage to property, and disorderly conduct.

Hartman was booked into the Jackson County Jail where he's held on a $75,000 bond.
