JOHNSTON CITY – A man has been cited on multiple traffic related offenses after leading the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office on a chase Thursday night in Johnston City.
According to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, just before 8 p.m., the sheriff’s office attempted a traffic stop on a dirt bike going east on Broadway Boulevard.
The dirt bike departed the railroad tracks at Water Avenue at a speed significant enough to cause it to become airborne. It then accelerated, continuing eastbound on West Broadway Boulevard ignoring marked patrol vehicles with lights and sirens activated which were attempting to stop the vehicle.
The dirt bike continued to flee during which time it committed numerous traffic violations, traveled through several backyards, and led law enforcement on more than a 15-mile pursuit.
As the dirt bike traveled on Christmas Tree Road, patrol vehicles converged resulting in the dirt bike coming to rest and the driver being taken into custody without further incident.
The driver, identified as Brock A. Dury, was cited for Reckless Driving, Aggravated Fleeing and Eluding, Operation of Non-Highway vehicle on a Roadway, Disobeying Stop Sign and No Valid Registration
Dury was taken to and lodged in the Williamson County Jail.
