Man Who Fled Cops On Motorbike In High-Speed Chase Busted After Posting Footage On TikTok

A man who fled the police on a motorbike in a high-speed chase has been busted after he posted footage of the incident on TikTok.

The footage shows the biker riding down a motorway, with a police car attempting to force the bike to stop but he overtakes it and takes off down the road at speed, weaving in and out of other vehicles.

Other police vehicles can also be seen attempting to intercept the suspect, who even rides down the hard shoulder as he evades capture. The speedometer on the motorbike shows the suspect doing over 120 mph.

Newsflash obtained a statement from the Clayton County Police Department saying: "Georgia State Patrol pursued a motorcycle through Henry and Clayton County and ultimately lost contact with the vehicle.

"After hearing about the chase, Lieutenant Reimers began searching social media and was able to locate video on Tik Tok and Youtube that appeared to be recorded by the suspect during the pursuit. Lieutenant Reimers observed that the motorcycle used was a relatively rare sports bike, a 2022 Triumph Street Triple RS that had been modified from its factory specifications."

The police added: "Using this information, Lieutenant Reimers checked our investigative software and found that there was only one, Triumph Street Triple RS registered in this area. The vehicle was registered to a subject off Shangrila Circle in Riverdale. The Instagram handle noted by Lieutenant Reimers."

Riverdale is a city in Clayton County, in the US state of Georgia.

The police said: "Lieutenant Reimers continued researching this subject and his motorcycle and found photos of the motorcycle at the suspect's residence on the suspect's social media. He then reached out to Georgia State Patrol advised him of the information he had found.

"On December 14, 2022, a Georgia State Patrol Trooper came to the Sector 4 Precinct to meet with Lieutenant Reimers. Following the meeting, Lieutenant Reimers and the Georgia State Patrol Trooper went to the 1000th block of Shangrila Circle, Riverdale, GA to conduct a 'knock and talk'.

"During the 'knock and talk', Lieutenant Reimers and the Georgia State Patrol Trooper talked to the suspect, viewed the motorcycle, and ultimately the suspect admitted that he was the driver who fled from the Georgia State Patrol Trooper in the original incident. Twelve arrest warrants were obtained for the suspect.

"Without the diligent efforts of Lieutenant Reimers to go above and beyond the call of duty, it is highly likely that the offender would not have been identified and he could have continued to endanger the citizens of Clayton County."
