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.

Otte is well known to police not only in Coventry, but around the state. His rap sheet dates back to 1998, and includes 9 counts of assault, along with charges of breaking and entering and disorderly conduct.

No one knows where he is. I do not even know where he is. However, we were not in Thomasville, NC at any point in our travels. He did not threaten anyone in NC or RI for that matter.

By the way, did anyone take note that all the charges against William Otte were dismissed? I do not think you did.

Also, in continuation to the last comment; some of the charges against William Otte and the treatment he had to endure from the police has been and still is being investigated by higher officials. Some of the charges and treatment was highly illegal.

He puts a big harley between his legs to compensate for the real loss,he does have a lot of conflicting friends, half of them have badges, and the other half are getting arrested by the ones with badges.he loves to make a live in undesirable girl pay the bills and he rides around all day doing his thing.he likes married women cause they dont tell,he has a history of domestic abuse, but he intimidates his women into not telling, low self esteem is the woman that he looks for to pay his way.

Jesse James, Billy the kid, move over this otte guy is a character,his humor and intelligence is hard to figure out but when you do, its hilarious.This guy is probably on some beach sipping pina coladas, exposing the famous outlaw biker Billy Gunns as a snitch, hope billy gunns isnt still a prospect while he is cooperating with the police.this is no family feud, in ottes different way of thinking he is exposing Billy Gunns for the wanabee he is, not the real thing, Otte will walk on it all

you suckers need to read between the lines when it concerns this guy,everything you do is exactly calculated, planned and anticipated, just when you think you have him, and even when he is in custody, your playing into his hand,then he has an alibi and stuff really hits the fan, there is always an underlying reason and this guy is bent on justice, real justice, not at the expense of the taxpayers, the only solution is to not rattle his chains, odds are you will lose and he will win, 100%
