He beat a Pasco man with a rifle stock until it broke, say police. They’re trying to find him

Pasco police are hunting for a Franklin County man after he forced his way into a home and beat a man with a rifle.

Ryan Conrad Bradfield, 39, showed up at the home in 1700 block of West Marie Street at 3 a.m. Wednesday, according a Pasco police Facebook post.

He had been ordered by a judge to stay away from the man and woman at the house.

Bradfield forced his way in and beat the man with the stock of a Ruger 10-22 rifle until it broke, police said.

He grabbed the woman’s cellphone and then broke windows in the home on his way out. After he was outside, he broke the windows in her car.

Police have checked his parent’s home in Eltopia and haven’t found him. Investigators believe he is armed and dangerous and may have an AR15 rifle with him.

Bradfield may be driving a maroon Chevy Silverado pickup with either the license plate C34195R or AYV5669.

Police urge anyone with information about where Bradfield is to call 911.

Anyone with additional information about the case is asked to call the non-emergency dispatch number at 509-628-0333 or email Detective Chris Caicedo at caicedoc@pasco-wa.gov
