On Friday, Kennewick Police received a report of possible domestic violence at 3800 South Newport Street in Kennewick.
When police arrived, they found that the man had previously committed crimes in California and believed he had access to weapons.
According to police, the man was seen entering a house, but they do not know if he is still there.
At the request of police, the Tri-Cities SWAT team and a Kennewick K9 team were called in.
