NJ biker arrested months after 160 mph chase
PEQUANNOCK, N.J. --Police have arrested a biker months after they say he led them on a chase through the streets of New Jersey that reached 160 mph - a pursuit he recorded on video.
Authorities on Wednesday charged 20-year-old Anthony Darrigo, of Wanaque, with eluding police with risk of severe bodily injuring and resisting arrest.
A police officer began chasing Darrigo on Dec. 10 after seeing him driving the motorcycle on its rear wheel. A video from Darrigo's helmet camera showed him weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed on a highway and through a residential section before police broke off the pursuit.
The video was posted on YouTube and police allegedly traced it to Darrigo.
