MANITOWOC - Three men wanted for a late night home-invasion armed robbery in Valders are no longer on the wanted list of the Manitowoc County Sheriff's Office.

Hunter Steiner, 22, of New Holstein, turned himself in at the Manitowoc County Jail and is being held on $50,000 cash bail.

He has been charged with armed robbery, burglary while armed with a dangerous weapon, aggravated battery intending great bodily harm, possession of tools of burglary and two counts of felony bail jumping.

He has open felony drug-related cases in Fond du Lac County and Calumet County.

The investigation continues.

It began around 11:30 p.m. on Wednesday, July 7, on Christel Drive in Valders, when the two entered an apartment and attacked two males there with firearms and a crow bar.
