A Coffeyville man is arrested in Parsons after a domestic dispute turns into a vehicle theft.

 

Saturday at around 10:00pm, Parsons Police were notified about a possible stolen vehicle. 26-year-old Peter Eugene Olsen Jr had stolen a 2018 Chevrolet Traverse from his ex-girlfriend. Olsen had taken a purse and keys and left with the vehicle. According to reports, Olsen said that he would not go back to prison and there would be a suicide by a cop if he were caught. Officers located the vehicle and were informed that there were two firearms in the residence belonging to the victim. With that information and the comment about a suicide by a cop, officers set up a perimeter around the house.

 

Officers attempted to make contact with Olsen but were not successful. The homeowner gave officers permission to enter the residence. Officers located Olsen, unarmed and took him into custody. Olsen, who was recently released from prison, was on federal probation for a weapons charge. He was arrested on suspicion of aggravated burglary, felony theft, misdemeanor theft and domestic battery.
