(KNZA)--A Jackson County Sunday night pursuit involving a motorcycle, ends with a wreck and the motorcyclist in custody.
According to a release from Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse, the short pursuit started when a Sheriff’s Deputy attempted to stop the motorcycle for a traffic infraction on Q Road, near 262nd, around 8:30 Sunday night.
Instead, Morse said the motorcyclist, identified as 34-year-old Netawaka resident Wayne Gaston, refused to stop, and fled northbound on Q Road. The motorcycle wrecked just south of 262nd Road, where Gaston was arrested after suffering no injuries.
Gaston faces charges of fleeing and eluding a law enforcement officer, driving while suspended, possession of opiates, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Following his arrest, Gaston was booked into the Jackson County Jail.
