Ok, this is not my kill and I basically had nothing to do with this. A very good friend of mine is a State Trooper and told me about this story that was spreading through the different posts like a wild fire. I have seen the dash video, but until I saw it i didn't believe a word of it.
Just in case there are other troopers or anybody involved with this on this forum, Im going to keep names and locations vague.
There is a strip of state route 61 that was recently resurface that runs from one town to another that is very straight and very flat through the country side. One night about 3 or 4 weeks ago now, a trooper was southbound on 61 going into town A. At the city limits he clocked 3 sport bikes at 118 mph northbound. For whatever reason, (crown vics with the interceptor pkg w/LED light bar are limited to 128mph), this trooper decided to turn on them and attempt to initiate a stop. Obviously at 11 or so at night a clear flat and straight road the bikes are gonna run....and they did. When they dropped a gear and took off the trooper called pursuit and asked if he had help 61n out of town A. He got a reply from a Sgt Trooper in a new Hemi Charger that was in a pretty good position to help out. He was a few miles north just off 61. As the Sgt approached 61 he saw the bikes go by and initiated pursuit. He eventually caught up to them. The third bike(with a passenger) peeled off onto a county road to the right.... the Sgt caught the second bike and PASSED THE SECOND BIKE WOT. Passing through 137MPH, a raccoon ran out in front of the lead bike(1 female passenger). The bike hit the raccoon and split it in two... I shit you not Ive seen the video. The bike wasn't phased at all surprisingly. You could hear the break in traction through the rpm tone of his exhaust but that was about it. At 154 the trooper stayed with the bike. As they approached a set of tracks, the bike hit the tracks at 83ish. the trooper hit them harder and got right up on him and announced over the PA "Just give it up dude, your not getting away". After several attempts to communicate with the bike the bike finally just gears down and pulls over. the passenger climbed off with her hands in the air and the trooper casually arrested the driver. The first words out f his mouth "I thought you guys couldn't chase bikes" LOL the Sgt just shrugged and said "nah, we can" as the Sgt is placing the biker into the cruiser the second bike comes over the tracks and turns into a driveway off the left side of the road and kills his bike. As the trooper with the crown vic approached the sgt radioed that the bike had pulled off at the second house north of the tracks blah blah and the second biker was also arrested after trying to hide out. The driver of the lead bike later said that he nearly shit his pants when something ran in front of him... he didn't even realize he hit it.
The Sgt got one of those "hey good job, but don't ever f***ing do that again" kind of talks. The troopers I know that drive chargers have had them over 160, so this is to let you guys know.....unless your packing some serious sh*t under your hood, your not running from a charger/radio/dash cam with your plates on recording.
