Police Report: November 4

4300 block of 31st Street: At about 12:00 pm officers responded to a motorcycle collision. Investigation revealed that two juveniles, one rider and one passenger crashed a red Honda motorcycle into a fence. Witnesses said that just prior to the accident the motorcycle was seen driving in excess of 100 mph on Rainier Avenue. Evidence showed that the rider tried to stop the bike at the intersection of 31st Street but was unsuccessful because of the wet pavement and the bike’s speed. Both the rider and the passenger were extremely lucky and received only minor injuries. Further investigation revealed that the motorcycle had been reported stolen out of Fairfax, Virginia. The rider of the bike told the officers that he asked the individual who originally stole it if he could ride it. The individual agreed and the collision ensued. Officers charged the rider with various traffic violations and for possessing stolen property. The passenger was charged with possession of stolen property as well. The officers were also able to locate the juvenile male who stole the motorcycle from Virginia and he was charged accordingly. All three juveniles were released to the custody of their respective parents pending juvenile court action.

The victim was advised of the procedure for obtaining a charging document from a District Court commissioner if he wanted to press assault charges.
