The officer had witnessed the motorcyclist operating the vehicle with no lights going eastbound and was not wearing a helmet during operation. They were able to identify the rider as Tyler Goad. Officers activated emergency lights and siren and turned to pursue the motorcycle, and at that time Goad increased his speed and continued onto Hillcrest.
Police continued in the direction that the biker was traveling with his lights and siren turned off. When the officer reached the intersection of Memorial and Hillcrest, they discovered Goad lying on the ground after having wrecked his bike.
