An 18-year-old Plymouth man on a motorcycle was arrested after leading police on a pursuit this weekend.
Officers with the Plymouth Police Department tried to stop a motorcycle traveling east on U.S. 30 east of Pioneer Drive Saturday night just before 11.
The motorcycle was traveling 90 mph in a 50 mph and disregarded the traffic light that was red at U.S. 30 and Oak Drive. He then traveled south on Oak Drive at a high rate of speed. The motorcycle also disregarded the red traffic light at Oak and Pidco Drives. The driver turned east on Harrison Street, finally pulling over.
The driver was identified as Gustabo Escobar, 18, of Plymouth. He was placed under arrest for resisting, reckless driving and for a motorcycle learner permit violation. Escobar was booked into the Marshall County Jail and given a court date and cash bond.
