Chichester Man Arrested After Multi-Town Chase With Troopers, Police

CONCORD, NH — A man from Chichester, with several prior charges, was arrested after a chase through multiple towns.

On Sunday morning, New Hampshire State Police dispatch was told Loudon police were involved in a chase on Route 106, according to Tyler Dumont, a state police public information officer. Officers in Loudon accused the driver, later identified as Dylan Beaudet, 31, of Chichester, of crossing into the opposite lane of travel and driving in the wrong direction “multiple times.” The chase continued into Chichester and then, Pittsfield, Dumont said.

Troopers took over the chase from there, but later, terminated it for safety reasons.

“A short time later,” he said, “the suspect vehicle was located abandoned on Tilton Hill Road in Pittsfield. A state police K-9 responded to the scene and began a track to locate the suspect.”

Beaudet was eventually located on Bow Lake Road in Barnstead and transferred to Loudon police for processing. He was charged with reckless conduct, disobeying a police officer, reckless operation, habitual offender, and other violations and held without bail.

Loudon, Chichester, and Pittsfield police assisted state troopers.

In Merrimack, in November 2020, according to a report in the Nashua Telegraph, he was arrested on possession of meth, an alcohol interlock device, disobeying an officer, and other charges.
