High Speed Eureka Motorcycle Chase Abandoned, Police Follow-up

They’re cruising through red lights with Eureka Police on their tail. That’s a basic description of a Tuesday night high speed chase according to officers.

They attempted to stop a motorcycle (originally near S. Street in Eureka) for it’s expired tags. The driver would then lead police on a chase through town, on and off the interstate, putting public safety at risk.
