LAYTON — Police are looking for a man who allegedly pointed a gun at a man on his doorstep and then fled the scene.
Justin Andrew Adams, 32, showed up at the victims house near 2200 North Snowqualmie with an empty gas can at 8:30 a.m. Friday and asked if he could borrow his phone, police said in a press release.
The victim refused to let him in, but let him use his cell phone, police said. Adams pretended to make a call, and then gave the phone back, pointing a black handgun at the victim and asking him if he wanted to get shot, according to the press release. Adams then fled the scene.
Lt. Jason Hinojosa said a police officer saw Adams driving a 1998 silver-colored Chevy pick-up truck at Sunset and Highway 89 then followed him until other officers were available.
Officers began a high-risk traffic stop when Adams pulled over in front of Northridge High School and put his hands up, police said.
Hinojosa said the man appeared as though he would comply, but instead drove away.
Police officers continued to follow him for two minutes, but due to a minor accident caused by vehicles stopping abruptly to avoid the truck, police terminated the high-risk chase, Hinojosa said.
The number on Adams utah license plate is X379AX.
Police are asking anyone with information to Adams' whereabouts to call Layton City Police Department at 801-497-8300.
