A Plant City, Florida man weaving in and out of traffic at 110 mph on a motorcycle with a fake 'MCLOVIN' tag was arrested after evading multiple traffic stop attempts by police.
A Plant City, Florida man was arrested on Sunday morning after leading law enforcement officials on a high-speed chase during the overnight hours, on a motorcycle with a fake license plate that read, 'MCLOVIN.' FOX 13 in Tampa reported that according to troopers, 30-year-old Jesse Rivera was seen weaving in and out of cars on his motorcycle at a speed of about 110 mph in a 45-mph zone, at about 12:15 a.m. on Sunday.
Rivera then reportedly turned and saw the trooper and then attempted to kick his bike into gear, but he slipped a gear instead, police said, and killed the engine. He then tried to get the motorcycle back into gear, backed the bike up and go around the patrol vehicle blocking him. Instead, the trooper exited his vehicle, grabbed Rivera and pulled him off the bike. In the process of pulling Rivera off of his bike, the motorcycle fell on both the trooper and the suspect.
reported that officials claim Rivera was ordered not to pull away as the trooper put him into handcuffs. At one point, Rivera told the trooper the bike was on his foot, and he was hurt. The trooper pulled the motorcycle off Rivera’s foot, then called EMS. Emergency responders transported Rivera to a nearby hospital, where he was treated for a broken foot. Once treated, he was transported to the Hillsborough County Jail on a single charge of fleeing to elude a law enforcement officer at a high speed.
