Drunk biker tops speeds of 115 mph during M-46 police pursuit

A 42-year-old motorcyclist from New Haven is currently lodged at Tuscola County Jail after his need for speed got him in trouble Saturday.

Tuscola County Sheriff Deputy Kyle Broecker observed the New Haven man speeding along M-46/Kirk Road, with RADAR confirming a speed of 103 mph. Upon the deputy giving pursuit, the motorcyclist increased his speed of upwards to 115 mph, and was swerving around cars recklessly to get away. With it unsafe to continue the pursuit, Deputy Broecker was able to coordinate with the Mayville Police Chief to stop the man from traveling into Mayville.

The New Haven man was arrested by deputies on charges of operating while intoxicated: third offense, and for fleeing and eluding.
