The Yakima Police Department has released a video clip of a wanted motorcycle rider, who back on June 11th ripped through town on North 1st. Street, popping a wheelie as he passed a patrol vehicle. The incident began around 1:30 PM.
The Rider Even Sped Through Town on Sidewalks and More
The responding Officer lit up his lights, and began to pursue, but Yakima Police said the rider, who had a passenger with him, appeared to be trying to ‘entice’ LE into chasing him.
The motorcycle hit speeds of 80-100 MPH in town, rode on sidewalks and veered in and out of the opposite lane of travel.
Officers, using caution, pursued as fast as they could safely, the rider was followed all the way to Union Gap, and finally to the I-90 on ramp toward Ellensburg, when the chase was called off due to safety concerns.
Toward the end of the video, you can hear the Officer telling Dispatch “he’s driving on the sidewalk…”
The Rider is Facing a Host of Felonies, If They are ID’d and Caught
Anyone with any possible tips or leads is urged to contact Yakima Crime Stoppers, all leads can be confidential.
