Law enforcement were on high alert Friday as they sought Oglesby. At one point, law enforcement surrounded a home on Lansing’s westside, deployed tear gas into the home and ultimately searched it. Because the vehicle Oglesby was in was found at the home, law enforcement believed he may have been in the home.
