CHP Placerville said officers attempted to stop the rider Saturday afternoon on Highway 50 near Red Hawk Casino for speeding.

Instead of stopping, the motorcyclist attempted to outrun the officers, traveling at speeds over 100 miles per hour at times.

CHP said the suspect ran through multiple signs and rode on wrong way lanes.

The motorcyclist then went home when he thought he had escaped, authorities said. Using a helicopter and several ground units, CHP officers were able to locate the man's address and arrest him.

No injuries were reported in the incident.
