A police search is underway for a 47-year-old Bethel man who is reportedly facing criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon and reckless conduct with a firearm charges.
Jeremiah Adams was reportedly intimidating a woman at a Bethel residence on Grover Hill Road around 7:30 p.m. on Friday night, WABI reported. The woman had a protection from abuse order from Adams, who she had reportedly been in a previous relationship with.
When a friend arrived at the woman’s house, Adams was reportedly seen with a handgun, and the friend left and then called police, according to WABI.

Adams, who is believed to be carrying a firearm and ammunition, was last seen driving a Green Jeep Wrangler with a Maine license plate 8845YE, WABI reported.
