A Washington man is in the Washington County Jail on multiple charges following a brief police chase just after midnight. City Police Chief Dan Rush tells WJPA that 31-year-old Leonard Weiser faces multiple charges, including terroistic threats and fleeing or eluding police, following an incident in which he allegedly threatened to “shoot up a house.” Rush says police were called to a home in the 300 block of Burton Avenue but Weiser fled the scene in a vehicle. After a brief chase, Rush says he crashed the vehicle into a home on Lewis Avenue and then fled on foot. He was eventually captured behind a house on Victoria Street. Rush says no one was injured in the incident.
