Billerica –  On Friday, April 20, 2012, at approximately 0200 hours, Officer Scott Peloquin observed a black pickup truck exiting a closed commercial area off Boston Road in Pinehurst. The truck had a piece of cardboard covering the rear license plate.

Officer Peloquin stopped this vehicle on Boston Rd. The operator, later identified as William Kinzler, 49, of Tewksbury, immediately exited the truck, yelled at Officer Peloquin, then got back in his vehicle and fled. A short pursuit ended when the suspect drove down a dead end street that backs up to Middlesex Tpk. The suspect fled on foot and managed to evade the officers in the swamp.

Located in the rear of his vehicle were eight man hole covers that were taken from Billerica Water Works on Everett Farmer Road. Kinzler turned himself into Lowell District Court this morning on warrants related to this incident.
