Macon, GA – A high-speed motorcycle pursuit through downtown Macon ended in a crash and DUI arrest earlier this week, according to the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office.
According to a report from the Bibb County Sheriff’s Office, Patrol Division Deputy Joshua Benfield attempted to stop a motorcyclist allegedly driving recklessly through downtown Macon. The rider reportedly fled, reaching speeds of over 130 mph before losing control on a curve along Thomaston Road.
