Friday evening, April 22, at approximately 5:10 p.m., Trooper Boeckman was outside his patrol car at a residence on County Road 300 N near Jasper when he observed a sport bike pass the residence traveling west at a high rate of speed. Trooper Boeckman proceeded west on CR 300 N for approximately one mile and finally observed the motorcycle. Trooper Boeckman attempted to stop the motorcycle, but the rider immediately accelerated and continued west on CR 300 North into Pike County.
