It's not every day that you see a cruiser motorcycle being chased through the woods by a police cruiser. Although not seen in this video, the operator of the motorcycle was found and taken into custody. And this is where the description gets strange. Ohio State Highway Patrol directly provided the footage you see in this video, but they have been extraordinarily slow to produce further [relevant] information about its contents. What follows is everything that I know and can tell you now: An adult male was arrested, tried, and convicted [for something]. His sentence was 180 days in jail, but 146 of those days were suspended. The remaining 34 days were nominally jail time, but the judge provided an alternative, exercisable at the discretion of probation: he could serve four days in jail over two weekends, followed by 30 days of electronically monitored house arrest and 9 months of probation, during which he was not permitted to operate a motorcycle after dark. That's all I've got. And believe me, it's not for want of trying. Despite OSHP's foot-dragging, I am confident that in due time I will be able to provide much more detail on this pursuit. When that happens I will (a) update this description, and (b) include a note to that effect in the next video I publish, so you don't have to check back here. Until then. UPDATED 02/20/19 For the past week-plus I have been working to uncover more information about this pursuit. My work finally paid off. This pursuit took place on July 4, 2018 and the rider of the motorcycle was Robin Buckels, male, age 46, from Painesville, Ohio. (Fun fact about Robin: On 6/2/16 he won $10,070 on a Keno scratch off.) Buckels was charged with failure to comply, 'permitted operation without a license', operating a motorcycle without a helmet, and unsafe operation. All except for failure to comply were dismissed. Same sentence as I had previously reported, plus $592 in fines and a temporary license suspension.
