A pursuit of a motorcycle rider is in progress. It began in Oakfield, came into the city briefly and now appears headed back toward Oakfield.
The original call was for a motorcycle rider on a "crotch rocket" apparently racing through the Village of Oakfield. The original caller suspected the rider was intoxicated.
Law enforcement units responded to Oakfield but didn't get there before he refueled at Wilson Farms.
The rider was spotted southbound on Route 63. When he reached West Main Street, he turned right and headed west. He took Kelsey to Galloway, then Downey, then Maple and is now heading back into the village and then 63.
The rider has allegedly ran multiple stop signs and "almost lost it on Maple."
He just "dumped it" on southbound Route 63.
The rider took off on foot, northbound.
UPDATE 6:34 a.m.: Suspect in custody.
UPDATE 6:37 a.m.: Medics requested to the scene to evaluate the suspect from being Tased and his tumble.
UPDATE 6:42 a.m.: Suspect is denying any injuries. Taser probes need to be removed from his legs.

The last crotch rocket that
The last crotch rocket that raced up and down 63 just outside of Oakfield ended up with the driver being killed. It's so unfortunate that people feel they can take these kinds of risks with their lives.

Beth,
You are referring to this incident today? Oh, I hope not. I was only making fun of him being tasered (as a result of his own actions). This is a serious situation.

Lisa,
No, I am talking about the incident last year where the young man was coming back from the funeral of a friend. But the incident today was only about a 1/4 of a mile where the other young man was killed.
