Tonight’s Attempt at a Getaway: 0/10 Stars
On Tuesday, June 16, 2026, at approximately 8:40 p.m., officers attempted a traffic stop on a motorcycle that was missing one important accessory: license plates.
As soon as the rider spotted the officer, he decided to test his luck and accelerated away. Unfortunately, while attempting to pass another vehicle, he failed to notice the center median and introduced himself to it rather abruptly.
Spoiler alert: he did not get away.
During a search, officers located approximately 108 grams of methamphetamine. The rider was treated for minor injuries and received a complimentary ride in an ambulance.
As for the motorcycle… let’s just say it took the collision a little harder than its rider did.
Way to go SPPD You guys are all awesome!!!!!
I was the Facility administrator at Brookside. You Officer’s were so good every time we needed you!
Whatever happened to Officer Keefe who worked the ER.? I know you guys put him there and you didn’t hire him as a full time officer there. But he came in handy and did his best while there!

I am writing to express my concern regarding the recent post and the tone of the comments following the news of the motorcycle crash.
It was actually NOT minor injures , he almost didnt make it.
While I understand there are strong feelings regarding the circumstances involving drugs there are far worse things in the world we dont know his story so the use of sarcastic jokes and puns to describe a nearly fatal accident is disheartening. Regardless of the details of the situation, the individual involved is still a human being who has suffered a serious trauma.
I believe we can have a productive discussion about the issues at hand without losing sight of the basic empathy and respect that should be afforded to anyone in a life-threatening situation.
That is still someone’s son! The police is poking fun and that isn’t professional or cool AT ALL
Good going if he is undocumented call ice he has already cost the tax payer money I am glad you are out there
He wanted to get away. No one was hurt but himself. Hurt for life.You ever do something wrong. You all know what happens if you try to get away… You get your ass beaten. He paid with losing his spleen, having his chest cracked open from belly to neck, knee and arm broke collapsed lung. It’s a shame but shame on the fool that wrote the heartless article like it was alright to smirk and be pompous when a person is maimed for life.
Yes, he is still in ICU awaiting another surgery. He’s been clinging to life since he crashed. But your reporting is so poor to try to be a funny guy you need a taste of humanity and find a job that suits you.
I’ve commented twice on this article and you have not posted either. What’s going on Mr. Editor?
Your comments are now visible. Apologies for the delay.
But why are you using three different first names for your comments? Christian, then Charles and now, George?
