**Onalaska Police Respond to First Free Church**

At 5:33 PM this evening, 09-05-2026, the Onalaska Police and Fire Departments were dispatched to the parking lot of First Free Church to assist a person who was suffering from a mental health crisis. Contact was made with the person in the parking lot, and they were cooperative with Law Enforcement.

Out of an abundance of caution, people attending the evening church service were asked to remain inside the building and the driveway to the church was blocked to prevent additional guests from entering. The individual involved, along with their vehicle, was searched by officers from the Onalaska Police Department.

It was determined there was no threat to the public and the person involved was allowed to leave scene with a family member.
