The Dearborn County Sheriff's Office have found a "person of interest" that sparked a search earlier Thursday.

At 11:16 a.m., the sheriff's office said that person is in custody.

The Dearborn County Sheriff's Office previously advised anyone living in the area of Hueseman Road and Laughery Creek near Washington Township, Ind. to lock their doors and report anything suspicious.

The sheriff's office said deputies were searching for a man who may have been armed.

The search was tied to a death investigation that is also ongoing in southern Dearborn County, the sheriff's office said, though they did not provide any additional details as to what happened.

The sheriff's office shut down Texas Gas Road near Hueseman Road for the search, while it was ongoing. The search area was southeast of Dillsboro, Ind.

People were asked to stay away from the area while law enforcement was investigating.
