Police in several states are still searching for 41-year old William Otte, considered armed and dangerous, after he allegedly threatened the life of his soon to be father-in-law.  He then took off with his 18-year old bride, Ashley Dias by his side.

Otte is on the run after he called Coventry Police around 5am Wednesday morning from a local body shop saying he had a rifle and was wearing full body armor, and wanted to talk to his wife's step father-to-be.

Coventry Police and several other departments sent SWAT teams to the location, but Otte and his wife had already fled the scene.  Some area schools were put on lock down because of the threat.  But officials eventually cleared the area and began an interstate manhunt for Otte.
