Initial reports received by dispatch and officers arriving on scene stated multiple people in the area heard what they believe was the sound of a gunshot
On Thursday (Oct. 17) at about 2 p.m., officers from the Battle Ground Police Department responded to the report of a disturbance originating from a home in the 1700 block of NW 27th Avenue.
Initial reports received by dispatch and officers arriving on scene stated multiple people in the area heard what they believe was the sound of a gunshot. This prompted the response of additional units from Clark County Sheriff’s Office, Ridgefield Police Department, and Vancouver Police Department.
Officers contacted an adult female and a child from the residence, both of whom were uninjured. Upon a search of the home, officers contacted a male suspect, later identified as Nickolas Edwards, 33 years of age, hiding inside the residence.
Battle Ground Police Detectives served a search warrant, and although a firearm was not located inside the home, additional evidence was seized.
Edwards was arrested for Theft I and Violation of a Protection Order. He was transported to an area hospital where he was treated for injuries sustained from a K9 unit during his apprehension.
Additional investigation is still ongoing. No further information is available.
