(Updated 4-a.m., 3/6/21) — The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, Friday, put out a request for help in locating a male fugitive from Illinois. Authorities say at least one officer was injured Friday afternoon as authorities attempted to take  27-year-old Dennis Guider Jr. of Chicago Heights, Ill., into custody.

Guider was a passenger in a vehicle in the 1800 block of Kittyhawk Avenue, when officers conducted a traffic stop on the car a little before 1-p.m., Friday, at the intersection of Burgess Avenue and U.S. Highway 30. Guider – who is wanted for parole violations related to multiple burglary convictions in Cook County, Illinois, refused to cooperate with officers’ commands during the stop. When police attempted to take him into custody, Guider pushed the driver out of the vehicle and drove off, striking an officer who landed on the car’s hood.

Authorities say the vehicle reached speeds up to 60 mph as it proceeded toward the 600 block of Burgess Avenue where it struck a culvert, causing the officer to be thrown from the vehicle. The suspect’s vehicle became disabled in the 900 block of Salinger Avenue. Guider took off on foot and remains at large as of the latest report. The officer was transported to St. Anthony Regional Hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries, and was said to be recovering at home.

Dennis Guider, Jr., is African-America, 5’ 11” tall, and in his mid-20′. He weighs about 150 lbs., and was last seen on foot wearing a black sweatshirt. Anyone with information about his location is asked to contact the Carroll County Communication Center at 792-3536.
