MOSES LAKE, Idaho – A man was arrested by the Grant County Sheriff’s Office in Moses Lake after trying to flee from deputies on Thursday morning.
On March 14 around 11 a.m., a Grant County deputy spotted a motorcycle without a license plate on North Block Street in Moses Lake.

A short time later, deputies saw the motorcycle cutting across a farm field along Potato Hill Road.
The motorcycle soon drove back onto county roads. The motorcycle continued along Road K-Southeast and Baseline Road East, failed to obey the stop sign at that intersection, and nearly collided with a tractor.
The motorcycle became mechanically disabled, and the driver was taken into custody without incident.

Additional charges are being considered.
