Grand Mound man arrested after high speed motorcycle chase
A man from Grand Mound was arrested after police say he led them on a high-speed chase, driving erratically on a motorcycle.
The criminal complaint says Davenport Police tried to stop a green Triumph motorcycle near the intersection of River Drive and Harrison Street on April 24 at about 6:46 p.m. The vehicle and driver, identified as Jordan Figley, 23, were positively identified as the suspect in a failure to stop near Harrison Street and W. Central Park at about 6:24 p.m. As an officer drove southbound across River Drive, Figley allegedly pulled out of a parking lot at 201 W River Drive.
The officer activated the squad car's emergency lights and siren. Figley is accused of driving up onto the sidewalk and trying to elude the officer. He headed eastbound on River Drive, then northbound on Brady Street. As the officer tried to catch Figley, he sped up, weaving through traffic and driving over 55 mph as he headed northbound on Brady Street. An Iowa State Patrol aircraft kept track of the vehicle as he continued to drive recklessly throughout the county. Figley was eventually taken into custody in Clinton County and admitted to eluding police in a post-Miranda interview.
Figley was arrested and charged with felony eluding and 13 traffic offenses, including unsafe passing, failure to obey a traffic control device and failure to display a registration plate. He was released on a secured $8,000 bond and has a preliminary hearing on May 2, according to court records.
