An incident at Orscheln Farm and Home in Iola resulted in no arrests but plenty of excitement Monday.

Iola Police Chief Jared Warner said an argument involving a customer resulted in the customer walking behind a sales counter at the store, prompting employees to press what he described as a “hold-up” button.

The button is pressed in times of emergencies, such as a robbery, Warner explained.

The alarm prompted a full response from police officers and sheriff’s deputies, with their guns drawn.

The situation was quickly diffused, Warner said.
