FEDERAL WAY, Wash. — A motorcycle rider was arrested at a Trader Joe’s after initially evading police during a highway pursuit where he, at one point, clocked 114 miles per hour.
Trooper John Dattilo said Washington State Patrol (WSP) called off the chase on the ground, but unbeknownst to the suspect, Smokey, a WSP law enforcement plane, still followed him from above on State Route 167.
“Smokey was able to follow that motorcycle,” Dattilo told KIRO Newsradio.
Don’t be like the rider of this motorcycle, who thought he could outrun the @wastatepatrol airplane, Smokey.
