A Rochester man was arrested on Wednesday after he fled from law enforcement.
A Marshall County deputy tried to stop a motorcycle without a license plate, and the driver then fled from police. A short time later he was taken into custody.
While the deputy was talking with the driver, 37-year-old John David Hall of Rochester, he informed him that he had a license status of Habitual Traffic Violator.
Hall was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail at 10:30 p.m. He was booked in for habitual traffic violator and resisting law enforcement and held on a $1,500 cash bond until Thursday at 1:30p.m., when his bond was posted and he was released.
