Sometime during the late-night-early morning hours of Sunday into Monday, Adams County Deputies say an assault-robbery was reported near Othello.

They did not specifically say it occurred at the location they 'raided,' but later Monday afternoon a swarm of armed Deputies searched a home in the 2200 block of Rainier Road about a mile west of the Othello city limits.
