Police chase Chichester man through three towns

State police say a Chichester man is in custody following a pursuit that passed through Loudon, Chichester and Pittsfield before being called off for public safety reasons.

State Police dispatch was advised on Sunday morning that officers from the Loudon Police Department were chasing a vehicle on Route 106, during which officers reported the driver crossed into the opposite lane of travel and drove in the wrong direction multiple times.

The pursuit entered Chichester and continued into Pittsfield, where Troopers took over as the primary pursuing units. The pursuit was eventually terminated for public safety reasons, according to a press statement.

The suspect vehicle was found abandoned on Tilton Hill Road in Pittsfield. The suspect, later identified as Dylan Beaudet, 31, of Chichester, was eventually located on Bow Lake Road in Barnstead and taken into custody.

It is anticipated that charges will also be forthcoming from the State Police as the investigation continues.
