Obscene gesture to police leads to chase and motorcycle accident

Its human
nature, if a riders motorcycle pipes are too loud or a biker
really can't afford another ticket, the sight of a police
officer makes them try to blend into the background or look
for an alternative route.
Unless
you're Frank Patti of New York State. Not only did he give
two police officers a rude gesture yesterday, but pulled a wheelie in
front of them in the city of Copiague, all while riding an
unlicensed motorcycle.
When the
police followed, Patti weaved in and out of traffic and
pulled another wheelie during the pursuit. His judgment was
sound until the end, crashing the 2006 Kawasaki into a police cruiser at the end of the chase.
Frank Patti,
26, was arrested and held on $5,000 bail, the motorcycle has
been impounded pending verification of ownership. |
