VIDEO: Motorcyclist Gets Probation After 150 MPH Greene County Pursuit

GREENE COUNTY, Ark. — A motorcyclist accused of exceeding 150 mph while fleeing an Arkansas State Police trooper has pleaded guilty to felony fleeing and reckless driving.

Wyatt Brayden Fuller, 27, entered negotiated guilty pleas Aug. 17 in Greene County Circuit Court to Class C felony fleeing and second-offense reckless driving, a Class B misdemeanor.

Circuit Judge Randy Philhours deferred further proceedings under Arkansas Code 16-93-301 et seq. without making a finding or entering a judgment of guilt. Fuller was placed on 36 months of probation.

Fuller also was sentenced to 76 days in the Greene County jail on the reckless driving count. He received credit for all 76 days already served, leaving no additional jail time under the order.

The remaining five charges — obstructing governmental operations, unlawful operation of a motorcycle, having no liability insurance, speeding and improper passing — were dropped as part of the agreement.

The order assessed Fuller $650 in court costs, fines and fees.

The case stemmed from a pursuit that began at about 3:41 p.m. June 3 on U.S. Highway 49 near Greene County Road 921.

A trooper traveling south reported seeing a gray-and-black sport motorcycle traveling north at about 87 mph while passing another vehicle. The driver was described as a man wearing a gray helmet, white T-shirt, blue jeans and a black backpack.

The trooper turned around and activated his emergency lights and siren. According to the incident report, the motorcycle accelerated to about 120 mph and passed approximately six vehicles using the continuous left-turn lane before turning east onto Arkansas Highway 69.

The motorcycle continued at speeds exceeding 150 mph, preventing the trooper from keeping up, the report states.

The trooper lost sight of the motorcycle at about 3:43 p.m. after a sharp curve on Highway 69. Believing the driver may have turned onto Greene County Road 915, the trooper checked the county road but did not find the motorcycle.

The trooper then deactivated his emergency equipment and terminated the pursuit.

About four minutes later, Cpl. Aaron Morphis reported seeing a motorcycle matching the description near Highway 69 and Greene County Road 957. Morphis directed the driver to pull onto the shoulder.

The original trooper responded and identified Fuller and the motorcycle as those involved in the pursuit, according to the report.

After being advised of his rights, Fuller allegedly claimed he had just left work at Anchor Packaging. Investigators later determined that claim was false, the report states.

Fuller also reportedly said he had been visiting a friend on Greene County Road 957 but declined to provide an address or show troopers where the friend lived.

The speeding citation accused Fuller of traveling 140 mph in a 55-mph zone. He was initially held on a $150,000 bond.
