LA CRESCENTA -- A 36-year-old Los Angeles motorcyclist was arrested
after allegedly leading police on a short chase through residential
streets onto freeways.
A Glendale Police officer stopped the man at 1 a.m. Sunday at Florencita Drive and Wickham Way when he did not signal for a turn,
officials said. The man stopped briefly, then rode away on his
motorcycle, police said.
The officer followed the man, whose speed reached 50 mph on Ocean View
Boulevard before turning east on the Foothill (210) Freeway to the
Glendale (2) Freeway, according to police reports. On the freeways, the
man's speed reached 120 mph, police said.
After a four-minute chase, the man stopped and was arrested on
suspicion of evading an officer and driving on a suspended license. The
