Four squad cars arrived at an apartment complex on the 18300 block of Jakes Way at 9:55 a.m., according to sheriff’s officials.
Initially concerned that a suspect might still be on the scene, deputies surrounded an apartment within the complex with weapons drawn. However, after a brief investigation they determined there was no one inside.

“There was no burglary,” said Sheriff’s Station Lt. Eric Lasko. “It was a miscommunication between an ex-husband and an ex-wife.”
No one was detained over the incident and there were no injuries reported.
The incident is still officially under investigation, according to Lasko.
