FRANKLIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHP) \u2014 A 16-year-old is accused of driving recklessly on a dirt bike in June, leading to him taking a “selfie” video while being chased by Pennsylvania State Police, according to a news release.<\/p>\n
Around 2:45 a.m. on June 4, PSP in Chambersburg tried to pull over the driver of an electric dirt bike, who was said to have ignored several traffic laws and nearly crashed into a trooper cruiser head-on.<\/p>\n
PSP said it tried to pull the driver, identified later as a 16-year-old boy, over, resulting in the dirt bike driving away at a high rate of speed throughout Chambersburg, Greene Township, and Guilford Township. <\/p>\n
The chase was eventually called off, PSP confirmed.<\/p>\n
Through “extensive” investigation, troopers were able to identify a 16-year-old as a person of interest, with the help of tips from the community.<\/p>\n
Enough crowdsourced evidence was gathered by PSP to execute a search warrant at a Franklin County home, leading to the dirt bike and several electronic devices being confiscated.<\/p>\n
A search of the teenager’s social media found he reportedly took a brief “selfie” video while actively fleeing from PSP.<\/p>\n
He was charged with fleeing and evading and reckless endangerment on Aug. 3, along with several traffic citations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"FRANKLIN COUNTY, Pa.
