A Mills County man is being sought by authorities following an incident that took place Wednesday night in Page County. According to reports, an Iowa State Patrol Trooper saw 38-year old Harold Rudduck, of Glenwood, walking along County Road J-20 east of Essex, at around 8:30-p.m. After talking with the man, the Trooper ran a check on his identity and learned Rudduck was wanted in Council Bluffs for failure to appear on a drug charge.

Rudduck took off on foot when the Trooper went to place him under arrest, and ran into a wooded area. Despite a search by a k-9 unit and deputies from Cass, Page and Montgomery Counties, authorities were unable to locate the man. The search was called-off at around 11-p.m.

Rudduck is described as being a white male with tattoos on his left arm, right forearm, chest, neck and left wrist. The man may have been picked up by a friend. Anyone with information on Ruddock’s location is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency.
