Motorcyclist Crashes After Attempting To Elude Police

Aberdeen police attempted to make a traffic stop around 130am Thursday.

A motorcyclist who ran from police is caught after he crashes his bike.  It happened when Aberdeen police attempted to make a traffic stop around 130am Thursday.  Officers say the guy on the motorcycle took off, and because of new state laws, APD could not give chase. Minutes later Hoquiam police found the wrecked motorcycle after they were given the heads up by Aberdeen officers.  Hoquiam police soon found the suspect, injured and trying to hide from cops.  After further investigation, it was determined the bike had been reported stolen out of Seattle and the suspect was a sex offender who had a warrant out for failing to register.  He was taken to the hospital for treatment and is facing several serious charges.
