Pursuit Ends With One In Custody In Barnstead

BARNSTEAD, N.H. – A Chichester man is in custody following a pursuit that passed through multiple communities.

On the morning of Sunday, April 13, 2025, State Police dispatch was advised that officers from the Loudon Police Department were in pursuit of a vehicle on Route 106 in their town. During the pursuit, officers reported the driver crossed into the opposite lane of travel and drove in the wrong direction multiple times. The pursuit eventually entered Chichester before continuing into Pittsfield, where Troopers took over as the primary pursuing units. The pursuit was eventually terminated for public safety reasons.

A short time later, the suspect vehicle was located abandoned on Tilton Hill Road in Pittsfield. A State Police K9 responded to the scene and began a track to locate the suspect. The suspect, later identified as Dylan Beaudet, 31, of Chichester, was eventually located on Bow Lake Road in Barnstead and taken into custody. 

Custody of Beaudet was later transferred to the Loudon Police Department for processing. It is anticipated that charges will also be forthcoming from the State Police as the investigation continues. 

Members of Troop D were assisted by local law enforcement officers from Loudon, Chichester and Pittsfield, as well as State Troopers assigned to the Troop E barracks. Anyone who may have any further information is asked to contact Sgt. Kenneth McGrath at Kenneth.T.McGrath@DOS.NH.GOV or Trooper Eric Wicks at Eric.C.Wicks@DOS.NH.GOV, or contact State Police dispatch at (603) 223-4381.
