Smokey followed the motorcycle to a gas station at S. 83rd St. and Tacoma Mall Blvd. Patrol vehicles moved in, surrounded the suspect, and arrested him. When officers inspected the motorcycle, they discovered a device that allowed the rider to flip up his license plate to conceal it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prosecutors charged the 27-year-old suspect with
