(Carroll) Carroll Iowa County authorities are searching for a male fugitive who injured a Carroll Police Officer during a traffic stop just before 1:00 p.m. on Friday.
The fugitive is identified as 27-year old Dennis Guider Jr., a black male, 5’11, weighing approximately 150 pounds, last seen on foot wearing a dark sweatshirt. He is wanted on parole violations for numerous burglary convictions in Cook County, Illinois.
