A motorcyclist who sped 90-100 mph past a Kitsap County Sheriff’s Office deputy on a red sport bike and then crashed into a guard rail has had his case forwarded to the prosecutor’s office for review.

According to Deputy Scott Wilson, the 19-year-old active duty Navy man blew past a deputy on patrol southbound on State Route 3 around 5:46 p.m. Oct. 5. The speed limit is 50 mph at that part of the highway. Because of the motorcyclist’s high rate of speed and because of the heavy traffic, the deputy decided not to pursue him.

But shortly afterward, the motorcyclist became tied up in traffic, and at that point the deputy decided to pull the biker over and activated his emergency lights to initiate a stop.

The motorcyclist turned to look at the deputy, braked as if he was going to pull over and then weaved to the left and accelerated out of sight.

The deputy decided not to chase him but instead provided a description of the motorcyclist to Bremerton Police over the radio.

As the deputy continued to drive south on SR303, he saw several vehicles pulled over near Gluds Pond Road. Motorists there were looking at the motorcyclist’s crashed Yamaha sport bike that had slammed into a guard rail. Witnesses said the motorcyclist had gone down, but then left the scene in a tan pickup truck driven by another man.

Wilson said the pickup truck driver wanted to drive the motorcyclist north to Harrison Medical Center in Silverdale, but the motorcyclist didn’t want to go, and so they returned to the crash scene.

The motorcyclist told officers that he did not notice that he sped past the deputy, and that he decided to flee once he saw the deputy because he did not have a motorcycle license nor Navy approval to ride a motorcycle, Wilson said.

The motorcyclist was transported to Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton to be evaluated, and his Navy superiors were contacted.
