Sheriff’s officials in Oneida County are urging residents to lock their doors as they seek a wanted man believed armed and dangerous south of Minocqua.

On Wednesday, Dec. 14 the Minocqua Police Department tried making contact with a man described as suspicious. But the man got into a vehicle and led police on a pursuit before allegedly stealing another vehicle. He then took off on foot and fled into the woods with a firearm, police said.

The suspect has been identified as 32-year-old Cody J. Huebner. Court records show he has prior felony convictions for armed robbery of a financial institution, burglary and theft.

Police say he is likely on foot in the Cassian area of South Shore Road. There is a heavy police presence in the area and residents are asked to avoid the area if at all possible, and call 911 if any suspicious activity is noted.

This is a developing story.
