Have You Seen Him? Hoosick Falls Police Looking for Wanted Man

Have You Seen Him?

Police in Hoosick Falls are asking for the public’s help in locating a man wanted on multiple charges following an alleged incident involving reckless driving and fleeing from law enforcement.

According to the Hoosick Falls Police Department, 43-year-old David S. McGowan is currently wanted for unlawful fleeing a police officer, reckless driving, and several vehicle and traffic law violations.

Animal Cruelty Charge

Authorities also say he is facing a charge related to an animal being "carried in a cruel manner,"  which refers to a specific type of legal infraction where the method of transporting a living creature causes unnecessary suffering, pain, or injury.

In legal terms, it means transporting an animal in a "cruel or inhuman manner, or so as to produce torture".

Details surrounding the incident have not been fully released, but police indicate the charges stem from a situation in which McGowan allegedly attempted to evade officers.

At this time, officials have not shared additional background information about the suspect, and it’s unclear whether he has any prior arrests under his name.

Police are urging anyone with information about McGowan’s whereabouts to contact the Hoosick Falls Police Department immediately at 518-686-7900.
