On August 21st around 2:00pm, a motorcycle was driving at a high rate of speed, failing to stop at intersections and passing vehicles in a reckless manner when it collided into another vehicle at 104th St. E and Vickery Ave. The driver was ejected from the bike, and the motorcycle crashed into a fence and onto a front porch.
The rider immediately took off on foot and begged nearby residents to “hide him in their house” since he had guns and he couldn’t be caught by the police. When deputies arrived, the residents informed them he was in their backyard attempting to hide in a garage. Two pistols were located in his backpack, one of which had an extended magazine and was confirmed stolen. The motorcycle was found lying on a front porch after crashing into a fence.
The 29-year-old suspect will be facing several charges, to include burglary in the 1st degree, hit and run X 2, unlawful possession of a firearm X 2, possessing a stolen firearm, driving while license was suspended 3rd degree, reckless driving, carrying firearms without a concealed pistol license, and possessing a large-capacity magazine.
Additionally, the suspect had felony warrants and was carrying numerous bills of different denominations. He also had individual baggies paired with a large quantity of drugs. For this, probable cause was established for delivery of a substance in lieu of a controlled substance.
This was a great story as we head into the nice weekend with one less criminal on our streets. We are fortunate this collision did not cause injury to any of the victims involved. Great job, deputies.
