Police were initially dispatched to a stabbing which soon turned out to be much more, according to Carroll Township police.

The false stabbing report came from a home on South 2nd Street in Dillsburg on Sunday around 11:21 p.m.

Dakota James Toms, 28, of Abbottstown, had previously been at the home and stole a vehicle.

Toms knew the victim as she accused him of sexually assaulting her.

While at the home he learned she had reported the previous incident to police and he got mad and tried to leave in her car, without her permission.

When the woman attempted to stop Toms, he pointed a firearm at her.

After he grabbed the keys while pointing the gun at her, he grabbed her by the neck, throwing her to the ground.

That's when he fled.

A warrant was issued Monday at 9 a.m.

Toms was last seen operating a 2018 gray Jeep Compass with a PA registration of HTB8031.

Anyone who observes the vehicle is asked to dial 911 and not to make contact with Toms as he is considered Armed and Dangerous.

Once apprehended Tom's will face the following charges:

  • F1 Robbery-Threat Immediate Serious Injury
  • F3 Receiving Stolen Property
  • M2 Simple Assault (2 Counts)
  • F3 Firearms Not To Be Carried Without License
  • M1 Terroristic Threats With Intent To Terrorize Another
