FRANKLIN COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) \u2014 A Pennsylvania man who tried to get away from authorities on a moped faces additional charges for leading a high-speed chase last week.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Trivitt wasn\u2019t 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\u2019s Office said.<\/p>\n
