A Washington state man was arrested after he fled police following a motorcycle crash on Friday night.
An Oregon State Police report said just after 8:30 p.m. a trooper responded to Interstate Five northbound, two miles south of Glendale. Upon arrival, the motorcyclist was allegedly uncooperative, provided a false name and then left the area without his helmet. The trooper found the man a short time later, just inside the Douglas County border. The rider reportedly conducted a u turn in an attempt to avoid the trooper. The suspect was intercepted and taken into custody. The man refused to provide his true identify.
While waiting for a tow truck, the rider allegedly attempted to kick out a window in the patrol vehicle and was able to successfully knock it off its track, rendering it inoperable.
The suspect was eventually identified as 30-year old Devin Saucedo, of Monroe. He was charged with attempt to elude in a vehicle, third-degree criminal mischief, providing false information to a police officer, and for failure to present an operator’s license. He was lodged in the Josephine County Jail after being criminally cited and released out of Douglas County. Saucedo was held without bail. The motorcycle was towed away.
