Helland recently ended a relationship with him after having a child together.

"He fled the scene on foot, but it's believed he is now driving a 1996 silver Honda Accord that he is switching license plates on," Vermont State Police Public Information Officer Scott Waterman said in a statement Tuesday.

"He started with a VT plate, and was supposedly spotted putting on a MA plate in Holyoke at a Denny's."

Police believe the Honda now has Massachusetts license plate 842YM3.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the Vermont State Police at (802)875-2112.
