The bike driver then reportedly turned onto Molasses Hill Road and started heading south into Wyoming County.

He was eventually stopped on Route 19 in Wyoming.

The State Police and Wyoming County Sheriff's Office assisted in the alleged pursuit along with Deputy Frank Bordonaro.

The South Academy Street resident was taken into custody without incident.

• DWI
• Driving with a BAC of .08 or greater
• Unlawfully fleeing a police officer
• Reckless driving
• Speeding
• Failure to yield to emergency vehicle
• Speeding in zone
• Passing in no passing zone
