CRAWFORD COUNTY — A 20-year-old man has been arrested after the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office said he drove away from deputies that attempted to make a traffic stop due to him speeding.

On Friday, a Crawford County sheriff’s deputy attempted to stop a motorcyclist for speeding since he was traveling over 100 MPH on I-75 northbound. The motorcyclist did not stop, and instead kept driving with speeds reaching 140 MPH, splitting traffic.
