Game wardens are looking for the owner of an ATV who dragged a Limington landowner 75 feet Tuesday night.
The landowner watched a man in an orange shirt speeding in a side-by-side ATV across their Pequawket Lake Road property about 8:30 p.m., according to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife.
When the ATV returned a short time later, the landowner stopped the driver and told him that he needed to slow down, the department said Wednesday.
But when the landowner tried to take a picture of the ATV and its registration, the driver accelerated, hitting the landowner and then dragging him 75 feet before getting away.
The landowner was taken to the hospital for the treatment of abrasions and contusions.
The ATV is black and gray and has a prominent brush guard on the front. There was a female passenger in it.
Anyone with any information about the driver’s identity can call the dispatch center in Augusta at 207-624-7076, ext. 9, or contact MaineOperation Game Thief at 1-800-ALERT-US or leave an anonymous tip online at maineogt.org.
