On Wednesday, July 19, at approximately 9:15 in the evening, an officer with the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department observed a motorcycle traveling east on U.S. 30 from the area of Oak Drive driving recklessly at over 100 MPH.
The officer turned on the motorcycle and attempted to stop the motorcycle which continued east on U.S. 30 before turning south onto U.S. 31.
The driver eventually gave up and pulled into a grassy area near the area of 14th Road where he was taken into custody.
The driver was identified as 19-year-old Edward M. Henrikson of Portage.
Henrikson was transported to the Marshall County Jail and booked for reckless driving and resisting law enforcement and held on a $1,500 cash bond.
Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is merely an allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
