BILLINGS -- A motorcyclist speeding in excess of 130 mph avoided arrest Thursday night after a high-speed pursuit from the Montana Highway Patrol.
It was the second time Thursday an MHP trooper encountered the male motorcyclist.
MHP Trooper Eli Wolfe spotted the man, described as wearing a green shirt, red gloves and a black helmet and riding a black motorcycle, sometime after 8 p.m. Thursday.
Wolfe began a pursuit after the motorcyclist passed him going in excess of 120 mph heading eastbound on I-90 near mile-marker 452. He ended the pursuit after the motorcyclist took Exit 455 onto Johnson Lane. Wolfe spotted the motorcyclist again, parked at the Johnson Lane underpass. The motorcyclist gave Wolfe the middle finger before heading beneath the underpass, at which point Wolfe began pursuit again. Heading eastbound on Johnson Lane, Wolfe said the motorcyclist made several illegal passes of vehicles, including a semi-truck, before guardrail-passing vehicles along Exit 452. Wolfe lost sight of the motorcyclist as he was headed west on US Highway 87 North toward the Dick Johnson Bridge.
Earlier Thursday, MHP Trooper Michelle Frost saw a man matching the motorcyclist’s description about 6 p.m. as she approached the North 27th Street eastbound off-ramp. The motorcyclist gave Frost the middle finger. "I knew what he was doing, taunting me,” Frost said. “I didn’t have any other reason to stop him besides he was flipping me off.”
Wolfe said the motorcycle didn't appear to have tags. Neither trooper was able to make out the model of the vehicle, but Frost said it might have been a sport bike.
Over the course of his pursuit, Wolfe said his vehicle reached 125 mph. He said though MHP wants motorists to obey the law, catching someone during a high speed chase isn’t always a good thing. “Catching them usually means that they’ve crashed,” Wolfe said. “If someone crashes at that speed, they aren’t going to have a second chance.”
