Posted: Updated:
ASTORIA, OR (KPTV) -

Police in Astoria are looking for a man they say threatened a woman at a restaurant.

Officers say a 36-year-old woman reported that a person known to her as Lazaro Villanueva Juarez pulled a knife and made threats that he would get revenge at Dayang Seafood on Pier 2 in Astoria.

The victim said that Villanueva Juarez was convicted of a crime in Idaho that she and her daughter witnessed.

Police say the suspect was dressed in cowboy attire with a white cowboy hat and matching belt.  He also wore boots of alligator-type leather in orange or red.

Villanueva Juarez is 5 foot 4 inches tall and weighs 120 pounds.  He is 31 years old now, but the photo police released is 10 years old.

Police are looking for information about Villanueva Juarez's location.

They would also like to talk to any witnesses to the incident at Dayang Seafood and anyone who the victim told about the incident before she reported it to police.

Anyone with information is encouraged to contact Officer Ken Hansen at khansen@astoria.or.us or 503-325-4411
