By Jessica Johnston, Assistant News Director

Multiple counties became involved for the search of a man that was a part of a domestic dispute Friday morning in Roseville.

The search for the man ended Friday afternoon at a cemetery off Virginia Road in Perry Township after he attempted to harm himself, Muskingum County Sheriff Matt Lutz said.

Scanner traffic indicate a gunshot was involved.

The man was originally set to be transported by Med Flight to Columbus, but, due to his critical condition, he was transported by Med Flight to Zanesville, Lutz said.

The Muskingum County Sheriff’s Office was alerted to a domestic violence situation Friday morning in Roseville in which Lutz said the man forced a woman into a car and drove to a gas station where the woman went inside to buy the man cigarettes.

From inside, the woman was able to report the situation.

Upon Muskingum County Sheriff’s deputies arrival, the man fled the scene.
