He explained, "A traffic stop was conducted at approximately 7:30 p.m. on an access road near Trig's in Minocqua after the law enforcement observed a vehicle they believed Dyer to be in.  Woodruff and Minocqua Police Departments, as well as the Oneida and Vilas County Sheriff’s Office, and the Wisconsin State Patrol were involved in the traffic stop."  The traffic stop occurred about 3 1/2 hours after police received a report of gunshots.
