A Portland-area man was arrested by Oregon State Police (OSP) troopers following an attempt to elude on a motorcycle early Saturday morning that began on Interstate 5 near Woodburn and ended at a Beavercreek Christmas tree farm.
On September 15, 2012 at approximately 2:50 a.m. an OSP trooper attempted to stop a 1987 Suzuki motorcycle northbound on Interstate 5 near milepost 268 for traveling 90 mph in a 65 mph speed zone. The motorcycle operator failed to yield, speeding up in excess of 100 mph as it exited into Woodburn. The motorcycle traveled east on Highway 211 as Woodburn police and Clackamas County deputies assisted OSP.
The motorcycle continued onto county roads until the operator abandoned it at 3:20 a.m. at a Christmas tree farm in the 21000 block of Yeona Road in Beavercreek. The operator fled on foot with officers in foot pursuit and he was taken into custody about five minutes later. A small amount of cocaine was found near the abandoned motorcycle.
The operator had no identification and was taken by OSP to Marion County Jail where he was positively identified through fingerprints. SEAN MICHAEL EVANS, age 26, was lodged at the jail on the following charges:
* Felony Attempt to Elude
* Reckless Driving
* Unlawful Possession and Distribution of a Controlled Substance - Cocaine
* Misdemeanor Warrant out of Multnomah County for Theft in the Second Degree
