The Dodge County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to a report of a family disturbance when the suspect left the scene in a dump truck. The driver failed to stop for a sheriff’s deputy on Hickory Point Road near Highway G. During the pursuit the driver of the dump truck raised the box of the dump truck and was able to dump a substantial amount of dirt and rocks on to the road. The dump truck eventually drove off the road and entered a field where the dump truck became stuck in mud ending the pursuit. The driver 34 year old Theodore R. Tamminga from rural Randolph, was taken into custody at the scene. Tamminga was arrested for 5th Offense OWI and taken to the Dodge County Detention Facility. Charges will be requested to the Dodge County District Attorney’s for 5th Offense OWI, Felony Fleeing/Eluding an Officer, Operating after Revocation, Resisting or Obstructing an Officer and Recklessly Endangering Safety. Other traffic citations area also being considered. Of course all persons are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
