Jackson man charged in high-speed motorcycle chase
JACKSON - A township man was apprehended after fleeing on foot and hiding in the woods near Cedar Swamp Road following a high-speed motorcycle chase, police said.
Joseph Sica, 36, was traveling northbound on the roadway about 9:30 p.m. Monday when an officer initiated a traffic stop for no visible license plate or operational rear light, according to authorities.
The motorist, who police said was Sica, pulled into the parking lot of Glory’s Market to turn around and flee at a high rate of speed southbound, officials said.
The pursuit was terminated after Sica continued to accelerate his motorcycle. But a short time after, the officer observed him pulling into the driveway of a Cedar Swamp Road home, abandoning the motorcycle and running into the woods behind the house, police said.
