BARTHOLOMEW COUNTY — Deputies in Bartholomew County are looking for someone they said possibly broke into a home and assaulted a female.
According to a press release from the Bartholomew County Sheriff's Office, deputies and detectives were called around 8 a.m. Wednesday to investigate the possible home invasion and physical assault between the intersections of South 400 West and Deaver Road and South 400 West and West 450 South.
The female told detectives the suspect displayed a firearm, according to the release.
