Suspect with an arrest warrant found dead after a shootout with police in Crescent
By: The man found dead after a shoot-out near Rhinelander was wanted by Barron County authorities.
The Department of Justice has identified 33-year-old Steven Kincaid as the man accused of shooting at police at a home on River Road in the Town of Crescent, January 20th.
Police were doing a welfare check after a couple of 911 hang-up calls.
A second person in the home was eventually able to get out, and a tactical unit found Kincaid dead.
In Barron County, Kincaid never showed up for a court appearance in October, and a judge issued a bench warrant for him.
He was charged in Barron County with false Imprisonment with a domestic abuse enhancement, battery to an officer, and felony bail jumping among other charges.
The Rice Lake Chronotype reported in July that Kincaid had allegedly tried to prevent a woman from leaving home for work.
She got out through a window.
He was arrested for false imprisonment and reportedly kicked an officer while being put into a squad car.
