The Aquinnah Police Department announced that the dirt bike operator they had been searching for has turned himself in and the public’s assistance will no longer be necessary.
The Aquinnah Police Department asked for the public’s help in identifying a dirt bike operator late last week.
Aquinnah Police Chief Randhi Belain told The Times the vehicle operator was being searched for regarding “various motor vehicle violations.”
“At this time the incident is under investigation, and no further information will be released,” Belain said.
The vehicle operator was riding a white dirt bike with black and red markings, and wore a helmet with a similar color scheme. The individual was wearing black shorts and a black T shirt with a graphic on the front. The vehicle operator also wore salmon-colored sneakers, and had a salmon-colored backpack.
This is confusing and ironic considering a member of the Aquinnah PD knowingly ignored illegal electric bike use and illegal trail building in the State Forest a few years ago. The avid mountain biker police officer was well aware of the illegal issues but turned a blind eye then, why so worried now?
You’re making some accusations and providing no proof. Also what authority does the Aquinnah Police have in a state forest?
Phillip — great whataboutism. !
But the article doesn’t mention what the biker was doing.
Perhaps he was riding at 80 mph , driving in the left lane in reverse , running stop signs and passing cars while going around sharp curves .
But I guess all traffic violations don’t matter because one police officer did something on an off road trail a few years ago.
The next time I get stopped for doing 80 in a 35 zone I will certainly tell the officer about your story, and then assert my right to just drive away.
Thanks for letting us know how to handle the police.
There is a State Forest in Aquinnah?
It depends on who’s ox is being gored.
Seems a bit shocking that Aquinnah Police are prioritising an unlicensed dirt bike when they have so many parking tickets to give out to beach visitors.
Where exactly is this Aquinnah State Forest?
Please let us know where it has been hiding.
