An armed man wearing a ski mask escaped Wednesday morning after invading a home on the far-east side and trying to force a family of three to drive him to an ATM. The intruder entered the apartment in the 1800 block of Wellington Avenue, near Interstate 465 and 38th Street, at about 6:15. He forced the man, woman and 5-year-old boy into their car and told the woman to drive to an ATM. At a traffic light near I-465 and Pendleton Pike, the woman jumped out of the vehicle and flagged down a passing Lawrence police officer. The gunman left the car and ran from the scene.
