SHELBYVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Shelbyville Police are looking for 41-year-old Christopher Todd Brown in connected with an armed home invasion.

According to police, Brown is wanted for his alleged involvement in an armed home invasion in the morning of November 25th on Sunset Avenue. Police say two suspects wearing ski masks, including Brown, entered a home demanding drugs.

Brown is believed to be hiding in the Nashville area and police say he should be considered armed and extremely dangerous.

Three women and two children were pulled form the back room at gun point. None of the children were injured, but that wasn't the case for the other victims. One victim tried to walk outside, and the suspects pointed a gun at her demanding she get back in the house. Another victim was thrown to the ground, and a third was drug by hair and twisted by her arm.

Police says the suspects then realized they had the wrong house, and then drove off. That vehicle was later found at Brown's girlfriend's house, with Brown behind the wheel. After police tried to stop the vehicle, it crashed, and Brown ran from the car. The passenger then jumped in the driver's seat and led police on another pursuit, which also ended with the car crashing into a fire hydrant.

That passenger, Kenneth Alonso Mason, was arrested. He's currently at Vanderbilt being treated, and police say he will be charged once released.

Police returned to Brown's girlfriend's home. Brown's vehicle was there, but Brown was not. His girlfriend told police he went to Nashville.

Later, the girlfriend located Brown, and demanded he turn himself in. According to police, Brown jumped out of the car in the 600 block of Main Street in Nashville.

Brown was out on parole, facing charges of 1st degree murder and attempted 2nd degree murder from a previous arrest. Police say he'll face charges of resisting arrest, evading arrest, attempted burglary, attempted aggravated robbery and more when found.

Brown's girlfriend says Brown is usually always armed, and that he had a gun on him before he jumped out of her car.

If you know his whereabouts please call police.
