Daredevil Cyclist send Police on wild chase
Posted on Apr 20, 2003 3:56 pm
Police call off pursuit of daredevil cyclist By Ben Tinsley Star-Telegram Staff Writer A motorcyclist led police in Denton and Dallas counties on a chase along Interstate 35E on Saturday before he eluded them at speeds in excess of 120 mph, authorities said. The motorcyclist, who was riding a blue and white Suzuki, was followed by a helicopter and at least three squad cars before he escaped by taking Interstate 635, police said. Authorities gave chase for about 80 miles before stopping for reasons of public safety. "We called it off because it was becoming too much of a hazard," said Kevin Patton, a spokesman for the Denton County Sheriff's Department. "He was showboating -- doing wheelies and standing on his motorcycle. "Those super-bikes can do 130 to 140 easy, and he was playing cat-and-mouse with the police. Evidently, he won this time." Initial reports from police indicate that the pursuit started in Corinth about 5 p.m. The cyclist eventually traveled on I-35E toward Denton, police said. "The Corinth police followed, and we picked him up going here" in Denton, Patton said. "He went outside town a little bit, got back on 35 back toward Dallas and was pursued into Dallas going east on 635. He then exited ... and kept on going." Patton said the Dallas Police Department assisted in the chase with one of its helicopters. "The kid had his license plate tucked up under his fender so it couldn't be read," he said. "It appears that was intentional. It sounds like this boy had done it before. He knew what he was doing." Dallas police Sgt. Paul Morris said the cyclist was last seen taking the Preston Road exit. Dallas police joined Denton County authorities late in the chase, he said. "We never could get up close enough to assist in the chase. When they dropped out, we dropped out," Morris said, adding that it was difficult to get a description of the cyclist. "It was kind of a blur on the motorcycle. All we could tell is it was one person with a full helmet. He supposedly got off at Preston, but no one saw which way he went after that." Police ended the chase about 5:50 p.m., Patton said. "He's probably in a bar somewhere right now laughing it up," he said.
