HERRIMAN, Utah — New video shows the moment when law enforcement agencies took down a motorcyclist who led troopers on a pursuit that started on Interstate 15.
The motorcyclist, Colton Hymas, was first seen Thursday night traveling at a high rate of speed on I-15 near 8000 South. When Utah Highway Patrol troopers attempted a traffic stop, Hymas refused to slow down, which started the pursuit that was later ended near 7200 South.
A Utah Department of Public Safety helicopter was dispatched and located Hymas, and directed troopers to a Holiday station in Herriman, where he had stopped to get gas.
Video from the helicopter shows Hymas nonchalantly refilling the motorcycle with gas, seemingly unaware of the surveillance overhead.
As multiple police vehicles descended upon the gas station, Hymas can be seen trying to flee the area before a Herriman police officer knocked him off the motorcycle and subdued him on the ground.
"Got him!" could be heard over the DPS radio channels. "Nice job, guys."
Following the arrest, UHP learned that the motorcycle was believed to have been stolen and that Hymas had multiple felony warrants against him.
