(UPDATE) The Hiawatha Police Department is asking the public for help finding a hammer wanted in connection with an aggravated battery investigation.

Police arrested Devin Hall Wednesday after officers responded to the 100 block of Utah St. in Hiawatha to find a victim who had been hit in the face with a hammer. Hall was arrested a few blocks away in connection with the incident and booked into the Brown County Jail.  The victim was treated at Hiawatha Medical Center and released.

However, police are searching for the weapon believed to have been used in the incident.  The public is being asked to keep an eye out for a tan-handled hammer.

“We believe the item was dropped in a specific section of town,” the department said in a Facebook request for help early Thursday morning. “The item is believed to have been dropped in someone’s bushes, yard or trash cans. So if you happen to notice or locate a generic hammer with a tan handle laying in your yard or somewhere please contact the police department.”

Police said the boundary area that the hammer is believed to be in is between Oregon Street and 4th Street and between Utah and Delaware Street.
