Jun. 2—ROCHESTER — Olmsted County deputies took a Rochester man into custody after he attempted to flee from law enforcement while operating a motorcycle without a license.
The Olmsted County Sheriff's Office initiated a pursuit around 12:15 p.m. on May 30 after deputies observed a man driving a motorcycle without a license on Highway 63 South at East Frontage Road, according to a release from OCSO.
The man fled southbound, left the roadway and drove across a cornfield before dumping the motorcycle in a marshy area and fleeing on foot. An OCSO K9 was used for tracking purposes, and the man was located hiding in a marshy area near FedEx and the Rochester International Airport, the release said.
The man was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Olmsted County Adult Detention Center. The case was referred to the Olmsted County Attorney's Office for fleeing in a motor vehicle and possessing stolen property.
