This quiet, country road in rural Baldwin County hasn't seen this much action in years! Late last week, a sheriff's deputy on routine patrol noticed a four-wheeler barrelling down Maytower Road in the Stockton community. The driver wasn't wearing a helmet, had no protective gear and was illegally operating the A.T.V. on a public street.


The deputy attempted to pull over the man, but he wouldn't stop. The officer's dash-camera captured the action. The video shows the driver taunting the officer and playing chicken with his patrol car. At one point, the deputy gets close, but the man guns the four-wheeler and blisters the blacktop. The suspect them slams on his brakes, takes off down a trail and disappears into the Baldwin County backwoods.

"He placed himself at risk as well as others on the road that day," says Chief Deputy Charlie Jones with the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office. "He also put the deputy at risk so we certainly want to identify this individual and we will bring charges against him."

If you know who the driver of the four-wheeler is, call the Baldwin County Sheriff's Office.

"Nevada Sheriffs' and Chiefs' Association worked closely with the Nevada OHV community to develop our current law and we believe that when fully implemented it will be very helpful in dealing with the problems of theft of OHVs and it will go a long way in identifying those who participate in destructive acts on or off public lands."
