Rider on stolen motorcycle arrested after Greene County deputy runs over cycle

(From the Greene County Sheriff's Office)

On Saturday (08/26/17), shortly before 9:00 a.m., a Greene County Sheriff's Deputy observed a black sport style motorcycle traveling eastbound at a high rate of speed in the area of West Sunshine Street west of South Kansas Expressway.

The rider of this motorcycle swerved into the center lane, lost control of the motorcycle and crashed; then, the rider abandoned the motorcycle, fleeing on foot. 

The GCSO Deputy who was traveling westbound in emergency mode was unable to avoid the motorcycle and ran over it with his patrol vehicle, causing significant damage and disabling it. The rider was quickly apprehended and taken into custody. No other property damage occurred, the motorcyclist received medical treatment as a precaution and no one else sustained any injuries; the suspect was later transported to the Greene County Jail. Upon further investigation, it was determined the abandoned motorcycle had also been reported stolen.

GCSO Deputies are still actively investigating this incident and additional charges may be submitted to the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney's Office for further review.
