The incident started on April 27, when sheriff’s deputies were called to a home in the City of Green for an “altercation between two people.” Klisz is accused of violating a protection order there, according to a media release.
When deputies arrived, Klisz, believed to be carrying a gun and wearing a mask, ran into a wooded area, according to investigators.
Authorities said Klisz ran near a Uniontown park, so the park was evacuated and residents were asked to stay in their homes and lock their doors while law enforcement searched the area.
