The OPP are looking for a 28-year-old man from Dawn-Euphemia after he allegedly drove through several farmer’s fields to get away from police north of Dresden.

Officers were investigating a pickup truck that was driving erratically and was in disrepair when they spotted it on Langbank Line, towing a flatbed trailer with a bulldozer on the back.

When police tried to stop the driver, he took off, driving through several fields.

The trailer and the bulldozer were recovered, but the driver and pickup were not found.

Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Richard Chadwick McGuire on charges of driving while disqualified, dangerous operation of a vehicle, flight from police, and three counts of mischief.

The pickup truck was a red, 2000 Chevrolet Silverado with no driver’s door, a smashed rear window, and dents and scratches throughout.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Lambton OPP or Crime Stoppers.
