Cyclist Leads Police On Bike Chase

Written by Boston Biker on Nov 22

And gets all of about a half mile down the street before they catch him…come on dude, really?

Brookline Police arrested a Brighton man yesterday who allegedly ran a red light on his bicycle and lead police on a short pursuit in Coolidge Corner at rush hour.

John D. Keamy, 21, reportedly shook his head and said “no” to a police officer who told him to pull over after the cyclist allegedly rode through a red light at Harvard and Beacon Street at 6:14 p.m., according to Brookline Police.

Police said Keamy continued riding his bicycle north on Harvard Street as a police officer got into a marked car and began pursuing him with the vehicle’s blue lights flashing. Police said Keamy was passing the rush-hour traffic at a fast pace and weaving in and out of traffic without using hand signals while police chased after him.

Police Officer Lloyd Davis Jr. was then able to cut in front of Keamy’s bicycle with his police cruiser just before Thorndike Street, and when Davis got out of the car and ran toward the bike, Keamy finally stopped for police, according to the police report.(via)

I am disappointed in you for four reasons, 1, You ran a red light. 2. You did so while a bunch of cops were watching. 3. You failed to stop when the cops ordered you to (most likely they would have given you a warning). And 4, you couldn’t make it more than half a mile in rush hour traffic?!?!

Weak sauce on all counts, you sir are right out.

(thanks to Ron for the tip)
