Cops can't stop 154-mph motorcycle but get their man
GRAND HAVEN, Mich. - Authorities couldn't catch him, but they knew where to find him.
After receiving complaints in recent days about a motorcyclist repeatedly speeding on Interstate 196, deputies decided to wait for him alongside the highway early Wednesday.
They spotted the motorcyclist heading east. He was a blur as he blew past, and the deputies briefly gave chase. They clocked him doing 154 mph on a motorcycle on I-196.
"If he's going 150, obviously we're not going to catch him," said Ottawa County sheriff's Sgt. Bill DeWitt.
Deputies arrested the 21-year-old man a short time later at his job in Grand Rapids.
The man faces several charges, including speeding and fleeing and eluding authorities, said DeWitt.
