Bicyclist arrested after chase through apartment complex

A 19-year-old bicyclist was arrested for obstructing police after leading an officer on a cat-and-mouse chase through The Club apartment complex.

The incident began about 2:40 a.m. June 15, when the officer saw the man riding his bike on Hunsaker Street without lights, police reports said.

The suspect cut through the basketball and volleyball courts and between buildings as the officer tried to stop him with his overhead lights and siren, the reports said.

The teenager eventually jumped off the bike and ran into a building before the officer caught up with him in a third-floor hallway.

He was taken to the Clinton County Jail on suspicion of resisting and obstructing an officer and being a minor in possession of alcohol.


‘… riding his bike on Hunsaker Street without lights’? In Bath Township? Does anyone know where Hunsaker Street is, or even Bath Township? It’s a long way from being a metropolitan area. Kind of like a side street on the outskirts of Mayberry. And running his overhead lights and siren in an apartment complex at 2:40 a.m. chasing a teenager on a bicycle? Good job Deputy Barney Fife, we’ll have no more of these bikes running around at 2:40 a.m. without lights threatening the good people of Mayberry, I mean Bath Township.
