Carroll Police Chief, Brad Burke, reports the department was notified the suspect involved in an incident resulting in the injury of an officer last Friday has apparently returned to the Chicago area. It all started with an attempt to arrest 27-year-old Dennis Guider, Jr. of Chicago Heights, Ill. at approximately 12:50 p.m. in the 1800 block of Kittyhawk Avenue. Guider was a passenger in the vehicle and wanted on outstanding Illinois warrants for parole violations, forgery and burglary. When Officer Patrick McCarty approached the passenger side of the vehicle, Guider shoved the driver out of the way and jumped into the driver’s seat. McCarty moved around the front of the vehicle at that time and was hit and scooped up onto the hood of the car as Guider continued driving.
Guider lost control and hit that culvert in the 900 block of Salinger Avenue.
Burke says they received a notification from a citizens group in Illinois on Saturday afternoon.
They are working with the Carroll County Attorney’s office on the charges that will be levied against Guider, and at the very least will include eluding and interference with official acts resulting in injury. Burke reports Officer McCarty suffered a fracture in his back and will be out of work for about six weeks or so. He was treated and released from St. Anthony Regional Hospital on Friday and is recuperating at home. Burke says this was a frightening experience for all.
Burke will provide updates on the case and/or the capture of Guider as soon as that information becomes available.
