WOODBURN RESIDENT ARRESTED FOLLOWING MOTORCYCLE ELUDE (PHOTOS)

Posted: June 22nd, 2006 4:48 PM

A 19-year old Woodburn resident was arrested Thursday morning after he attempted to elude OSP troopers and Keizer police officers on motorcycle at high speeds on Interstate 5 and Keizer area streets. He was located hiding in bushes at the Wheatland Ferry boat ramp and taken into custody on multiple charges.

On June 22, 2006, at about 10:00 a.m., OSP Salem Area Command troopers received complaints of a motorcycle southbound on Interstate 5 near Woodburn riding wheelies and passing in between traffic. At about 10:08 a.m., OSP Senior Trooper Derek Bischoff saw the motorcycle southbound at the Brooks interchange. Senior Trooper Bischoff overtook the motorcyclist as it took the Keizer exit.

Senior Trooper Bischoff attempted to stop the 2002 Yamaha R1 motorcycle as it turned right into Keizer. The motorcycle sped up to speeds over 100 mph in a 35 mph zone and eluded Senior Trooper Bischoff as it went into Keizer. Assistance was requested from Keizer Police Department and he was located by Keizer police heading north out of Keizer on Wheatland Road.

The suspect's motorcycle was located abandoned near the boat ramp near the Wheatland Ferry and the suspect was found hiding in bushes along the river by Keizer police officers.

ARTEM KRAVETS, age 19, from Woodburn, was riding a 2002 Yamaha R1 motorcycle, which was registered to his sister. The motorcycle's rear tire had tire cord showing, which Senior Trooper Bischoff was able to see and describe during the pursuit. His driving privileges are suspended.

KRAVETS was lodged at the Marion County Jail for Reckless Driving, Felony Attempt to Elude on a Vehicle, and Misdemeanor Attempt to Elude on Foot. He was also cited for Exceeding the Posted Speed - 115 mph in 35 mph zone, and Driving While Suspended.

How many ways can one say, "Ix-nay on the upid-stay". Or, as Sheriff Andy Taylor would say, "Some people are just duh-umb!"

I hate it when idiots brand all of us as hooligans to the police and non-riding public by their irresponsibility. And worse, it is in my backyard.....

Man dies while attempting stunts on motorcycle

The Associated Press

ANDERSON, S.C. | Authorities say a 23-year-old Anderson man was attempting stunts on his motorcycle in a mall parking lot Thursday when he lost control of his motorcycle, struck a building and died.

Anderson County Coroner Greg Shore said Michael Neil Ray died instantly around 7:30 p.m. of a cervical spinal fracture and chest trauma.

Witnesses said Ray was attempting stunts on his silver-and-black Honda in the Anderson Mall parking lot with other before the accident.

"He was a typical 23-year-old," said Ray's father John Ray. "He liked to have a good time."

John Ray said he had spoken to his son about six hours before the accident.

"We just love him and we miss him," John Ray said.
