Motorcycle Pursuit in Baytown

On October 15^th at 4:49 p.m., officers attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a Blue Suzuki motorcycle in  the area of North Alexander and State Highway146. As the officer activated his emergency lights to initiate the stop, the operator of the motorcycle, accelerated to a high rate of speed, weaving in and out of traffic in an obvious attempt to elude the officer. The officer engaged in a pursuit of the motorcycle, while broadcasting the description of the motorcycle and the operator. The officer quickly determined to continue the pursuit was dangerous to the other motorists on the road as well as the operator of the motorcycle, therefore the officer disengaged the pursuit in hopes that the motorcycle operator would slow down, an no longer put other motorists at risk. A short time later a plain clothes detective in an unmarked vehicle spotted the motorcycle going over the Hartman Bridge and followed it as the motorcycle was now driving with the flow of traffic, apparently assuming he had successfully eluded the police. The detective followed the motorcycle until it came to a stop a the Dollar General in the 1200 block of Broadway in Laporte. At that time the operator of the motorcycle, identified as 21 year old Kaiden Auzenne of Baytown, was taken into custody without incident. Mr. Auzenne advised officers the reason he fled was due to the fact he did not have a motorcycle license. Mr. Auzenne was transported to the Baytown Jail where he was booked and charged with Felony Evading in a Motor Vehicle through the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
