County police arrested a Grovertown man after he fled from an officer attempting a traffic stop.

A Marshall County Sheriff Deputy attempted to make a traffic stop on a motorcycle for several traffic infractions last Friday, September 20th at about 7:15 p.m.

When the deputy activated the emergency lights, the motorcycle fled. A pursuit was initiated and continued into St. Joseph County, where the operator, William Aaron Fosburgh, 19, of Grovertown, was taken into custody.

Fosburgh was booked into the county jail for resisting law enforcement, reckless driving, and aggressive driving.  His cash bond was set at $1,500 and paid about 2:30 Sunday afternoon, and he was released on bond.
