On October 5th, 2024, an officer from the Hartford Police Department attempted to conduct a traffic stop on a minibike. The operator fled through yards and the officer lost visual of the bike. Officers located the minibike again, but quickly lost sight of it. A review of security camera footage showed a clear shot of the operator's face. Officers then shared the footage with employees at the Hartford High School, and two employees advised that the suspect looked like a former student. As officers were in route to his address, officers observed a male on a bicycle and realized that it was the suspect. While stopping to question him, the suspect flipped officers and fled on his bicycle. >> Hey, stop. >> Oh my god, dude. >> Yeah, >> that's a freedom of speech, dude. >> 610 county.
