VOLUSIA COUNTY, Fla – The owner of a motorcycle tag that read “Will Run” was arrested Tuesday night after “fleeing recklessly on his motorcycle at speeds of 145 mph” on Interstate 4 in Florida, according to deputies.
The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office said Ashtin Jarvis, 19, taunted and fled from police in several Volusia County cities, as well as Volusia County sheriff’s deputies.
In a Facebook post, the sheriff’s office said it called in Air One, which tracked the motorcycle from the air, instead of having law enforcement pursue Jarvis from the ground.
Video released by the sheriff’s office shows the helicopter following the motorcyclist as they ran a red light at an intersection on International Speedway Boulevard in Daytona Beach, then sped through traffic, running red lights and getting on I-4.
The bike is then seen weaving in and out of traffic on Interstate 4 into Seminole County, at one point reaching speeds of 145 mph. Eventually, the video shows several vehicles stopping the motorcyclists.
Jarvis was eventually arrested in Sanford. The sheriff’s office says he faces charges of fleeing at high speed, reckless driving, and possession of a counterfeit license plate, as well as traffic violations.
