GREENWOOD, DE – When police spotted a man riding his Harley Davidson at a high rate of speed Tuesday night, troopers from the Delaware State Police began following the motorcycle.
“At approximately 8:00 p.m., a trooper on patrol in the area of southbound Bay Road south of Milford Neck Road observed a green and black Harley Davidson Touring motorcycle traveling at a high rate of speed,” police said. “The trooper began following the motorcycle and observed additional moving violations as it entered the town of Milford. A traffic stop was conducted in the parking lot of the M&T Bank, addressed at 673 North Dupont Boulevard.”
When the trooper approached the motorcycle, the operator began fleeing on foot. The trooper gave chase, and the operator, identified as William Case, 27, of Greenwood, was taken into custody after a taser deployment and utilization of a DSP canine.
A police search of Case led to the discovery of approximately 0.40 grams of cocaine, drug paraphernalia, and a loaded untraceable 9-millimeter handgun.
“Case was wearing Pagan outlaw motorcycle club attire and displayed signs of impairment. Computer checks of Case revealed that he has two prior convictions for DUI,” police said. “Case was transported to an area hospital for treatment of injuries sustained during the canine apprehension.”
