A 21-year-old Rockingham County man suspected of being the culprit who led police on a 100mph chase through Augusta and Rockingham counties July 18 is in custody on unrelated charges. The alleged biker has not been charged for eluding authorities in a “reckless” manner, according to a Virginia State Police release, and he won’t be identified until he’s officially charged, say police.

    Since you guys miss my input, let’s get it over with real quick so you can move on. Let me decipher this latest press release for you….

    “We may or may not have our man!

    If he is our man, we don’t have enough evidence to place the felony charge of eluding cop shoppe cars against him yet.

    We think it’s in our best interest to not attach his identity to this press release since we can’t prove he is our man! We could very well end up getting sued if we falsely accuse him!”

    Too bad more cop shoppes aren’t this smart and use a little of their gray matter before releasing the name and picture of a suspect to the media.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
