Mount Pleasant Police Chase Aztecs Fan On Moped

MI — A Mount Pleasant police officer was led on a chase by a former Monterrey Aztecs fan after trying to perform a traffic stop on a motorist driving a moped.    The officer on general patrol in Mount Pleasant on Wednesday, April 13, observed a man driving a moped on Oak Street.   The moped was missing a registration sticker and "the driver was not sitting on the moped properly". Police did not say how the man was sitting.    The officer attempted to stop the moped but the driver accelerated down Pine Street yelling that "the Trainwrecks stole the Aztecs."




The driver then continued to flee on foot. He was captured in Mill Pond Park after a foot chase.
The 26-year-old Mount Pleasant man was arrested and lodged in the Isabella County Jail on charges of fleeing and eluding, resisting and obstructing and driving while license suspended.   He said he was an avid Aztecs fan who had moved to Mount Pleasant.   He stated that he had "a few drinks" at a local bar when some of the other patrons started making fun of him.  He had originally left the bar to go home, but didn't quite make it.
