Brief: Motorcycle Chase Heads Through Woodbury

A motorcyclist was able to elude authorities in Woodbury on Tuesday.

The State Patrol initiated the chase, and officers lost sight of the individual near the intersection of Lake Road and Manning Avenue in Woodbury, according to Woodbury Cmdr. Jay Alberio.

He was unsure where the chase originated— were called to assist the State Patrol, which initiated the chase.

Alberio said there was no crash and no arrests were made.

The Star Tribune reported that the motorcyclist was speeding at more than 100 mph while trying to escape, but authorities are confident they know the individual's identity.

The motorcycle was initially pursued by Washington County sheriff's deputies, State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske told the Star Tribune. The patrol took over about 9:45 p.m. on Interstate 94, just west of Interstate 694.

Troopers were led onto southbound Hwy. 61 toward Newport and soon after "we just lost sight of him" shortly before 10 p.m., Roeske told the Star Tribune.

Despite failing to pull the motorcyclist over, "we have a pretty good idea who he is," thanks to troopers seeing enough of the license plate, Roeske said.

He said no other motorists along the chase route were put in imminent danger.
