A 19 year old Miami man was arrested Wednesday morning,
charged with fleeing from numerous deputies at high rates of speed on a
motorcycle.
Daniel Mendez Perez and a female passenger were first
spotted at 8 a.m. by deputies northbound at the 55 mile marker. Perez was traveling at a high rate of speed
and passing vehicles recklessly on the right hand shoulder of the road. Between
the 55 mile marker ant the 98.5 mile marker, he continued with this dangerous
driving, fleeing from numerous deputies who tried to stop him at speeds
reaching 100 miles per hour.
He finally slowed at the 98.5 mile marker and Deputy Matt
Koval managed to block him in against a guard rail. Perez was taken into
custody. The 17 year old female passenger, a student at Marathon High School,
was turned over to the custody of her father.
Perez was charged with reckless driving and fleeing and
eluding police. He had two driver’s licenses in his possession, neither of
which had a valid motorcycle endorsement. He was further charged with possession
of more than one driver’s license and driving a motorcycle without the proper
endorsement.
