Here's a guy you don't want to share the roads with this holiday.

His name is Dean Feller and he was indicted last week for failing to report to jail on his 5th DUI conviction. He's actually scheduled to go on trial in January for a 6th DUI charge, according to Bill Dickenson of the Kankakee County Sate's Attorney's office.

Feller's last known address was 198 N. LaVasseur Avenue in Bourbonnais.

Kankakee County issued a press release asking the public's help finding Feller. The last time authorities saw him was  October 1, when he was sentenced to four years in prison for aggravated DUI and three years in prison for felony driving on a revoked license.

He was supposed to report to jail to begin serving that sentence on November 5, but he never showed.  Dickenson says Feller is now also charged with felony escape.

The U.S. Marshal's Fugitive Task Force is heading up the search for Feller.
