At 7:45 p.m. Friday, William Chase, 50, went to a home on Uau Road in Kurtistown. He reportedly “brandished a firearm” at a 19-year-old male acquaintance who answered the door. He then allegedly forced his way into the house. Police said he threatened a 44-year-old woman, a teenage boy and a teenage girl with the weapon and then left in a gray Toyota pickup truck. He was reportedly armed with a handgun during his departure from the home.
He is described as 5-foot-8 inches tall, weighing 200 pounds with short, gray, balding hair. He may have a mustache and beard.
