A 19-year-old is facing felony charges after he allegedly fled from state troopers on a motorcycle at speeds that reached 130 mph across Miami County.
Trevor Rowe, 19, of Walton, was charged with resisting law enforcement, a Level 5 Felony. Rowe also faces 14 additional misdemeanor and traffic infractions that include aggressive driving, competing in a speed contest, no operator's license in possession, speeding and disregarding an official traffic control device.
Court documents state the arrest stemmed from an incident Friday, August 21, when a state trooper observed two motorcycles traveling 130 mph in a 60 mph zone going northbound on U.S. 31.
After the trooper activated his emergency lights, it was reported one of the riders did not stop. A high speed chase ensued, but was later called off due to traffic and safety concerns.
Later that evening a Kawasaki motorcycle was located by a Miami County Sheriff's deputy near Wabash Rd and County Rd 700 E. Police soon identified the rider as Rowe and reported the motorcycle having a license plate registered to a different motorcycle. Rowe was also unable to provide registration or proof of ownership to officers.
Rowe's initial hearing is scheduled for October 20 in Miami County Superior Court.
