FAIRFAX — A Jeffersonville man is facing a series of charges after leading police on a chase that ended when the officer knocked him off his motorcycle.
Vermont State Police say Christopher Mesick, 26, has been cited to appear in Franklin District Court Dec. 8 on charges of attempting to elude police, traveling at excessive speeds, careless and negligent operation, and possession of marijuana.
According to police, a trooper tried to stop Mesick for speeding on Vermont 104 about 7 p.m. Friday, but Mesick accelerated and began passing other cars in a reckless manner.
