Authorities search for man
PRINCETON — Princeton Police and other authorities searched Monday for a Princeton man who was potentially suicidal, threatening to kill himself or any police officer who might try to find him.
At noon on Monday, Princeton Police Chief Tom Root said the incident started a couple hours earlier Monday as a domestic situation with the man's wife. The wife allegedly feared for her life, the police chief said.
According to Root, the man supposedly took a shotgun and left the home in his vehicle. The vehicle was found later that morning at Elm Lawn Cemetery. Because of the location of the vehicle, the nearby Jefferson Elementary School was on lockdown until authorities learned the man had gotten a ride to the City-County Park area on the north edge of Princeton.
