FUQUAY-VARINA, N.C. — Wake County sheriff's deputies surrounded a home on Wagstaff Road, south of Fuquay-Varina, Thursday night to investigate reports that a man was barricaded inside.

Sheriff Donnie Harrison said deputies were called shortly after 8 p.m. after a woman came home to the Squire Ridge subdivision to find her ex-husband's truck in the driveway.

Believing the man was inside the home, deputies called in a SWAT team. When authorities got into the house, however, they determined that the man was not inside. 

He was found a short time later at a different location.

No one was hurt.
