     On May 13, 2014 at 12:41 AM, Sauk County Sheriff’s Office received notification from subjects at a residence located in the Village of West Baraboo, WI that an Armed Robbery  had just taken place. It was initially reported that there were two victims with injuries at the residence. It was also reported that two male suspects had fled from the scene in a black Ford vehicle. The victims reported that the suspects were armed with a rifle, a knife and Brass Knuckles. Through further investigation a third suspect was found to have been driving the suspect vehicle.
