FRANKLIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A Pennsylvania man who tried to get away from authorities on a moped faces additional charges for leading a high-speed chase last week.
John Trivitt, 43, of Chambersburg, Franklin County, allegedly led police on a pursuit throughout the Greencastle area Friday, according to court documents filed by Greencastle Police.
State Police said, Trivitt reached speeds between 75-80mph in posted zones, and went through red lights along with stop signs during the chase. He eventually came to a stop at a dead end in a cul-de-sac.
Trivitt got out and ran into a residential/wooded area, State Police said. A drone and K-9 team was used to try and find him.
Trivitt wasn’t found until Tuesday evening, when authorities spotted him riding a moped. He was then taken into custody after he tried getting away, the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office said.
