KPD officers spotted the motorcycle going westbound on Clearwater around 8:15 a.m. on July 29.

According to the KPD, the driver of the motorcycle began weaving in and out of traffic when they noticed law enforcement and ran a red light at W. Clearwater and N. Kellogg.

Later around 1 p.m., the motorcycle was spotted weaving in and out of traffic at a high rate of speed near Center Parkway and W. Grandridge Boulevard.

The motorcycle was then spotted in the Costco parking lot and after KPD investigated it was determined that the driver worked at a kiosk in the store.
