In a news release, the Lebanon City Police Department said that officers were dispatched to 10th and Church streets around 2:45 a.m. on Wednesday, March 15, for a well being check.

The news release says that a short time later, around 2:55 a.m. on Wednesday, officers were dispatched to a medical facility in Lebanon for an assault.
