Oregon State Police (OSP) arrested a 41-year old Redmond man Saturday following his attempt to elude an OSP trooper on a motorcycle west of Redmond.
On September 6, 2014 at approximately 10:14 p.m., OSP trooper attempted to stop a Honda motorcycle traveling eastbound on Highway 126E near Cline Falls State Park for a speed violation. The motorcycle accelerated at a high rate of speed in excess of 100 mph. The trooper activated the patrol car's lights and siren but motorcycle's operated failed to yield, continuing at a high rate of speed as it passed another eastbound motorist recklessly before turning off onto Eagle Crest Boulevard.
As the trooper kept the motorcycle in sight, it failed to negotiate a right turn and went off the highway into dirt. The motorcycle continued about a hundred feet before striking a rock causing the motorcycle to fall on its side and the ride to fall off.
The trooper took the motorcycle's operator into custody without further incident. The operator was identified as MICHAEL RICHARD BREMONT, age 41, from Redmond. BREMONT was lodged in the Deschutes County Jail for Felony Attempt to Elude on a Vehicle and Reckless Driving. He was also cited for Violation of the Basic Rule in Excess of 100 mph. A charge of Parole Violation is also listed on the Deschutes County Jail's website.
