ST. PETERSBURG, FL \u2014 A motorcyclist faces multiple charges after hitting speeds of 150 mph as he led troopers on a two-county chase Saturday night, the Florida Highway Patrol said. <\/p>\n
While on routine patrol, FHP aircraft spotted several motorcycles driving recklessly and racing on Westshore Boulevard in Tampa around 10:40 p.m.<\/p>\n
The group traveled to and across the Gandy Bridge as the FHP Aviation Unit tracked them. <\/p>\n
They were met by a trooper, who tried to pull over one of the riders. <\/p>\n
The rider, later identified as 19-year-old Michael Alexander Fiallo of Wesley Chapel, fled from the traffic stop, FHP said. <\/p>\n
Fiallo drove to 4th Street and, eventually, headed south on Interstate 275 at about 150 mph. <\/p>\n
He drove to Carillon Parkway, where he abandoned his motorcycle and was captured in a nearby parking garage, FHP said. <\/p>\n
Troopers charged Fiallo with fleeing and eluding, reckless driving and no motorcycle endorsement. He was booked into the Pinellas County Jail.<\/p>\n
