A 44-year-old Freedom Township man allegedly drove his motorcycle more than 100 miles an hour on Monday for about six minutes before he was arrested, according to the Hiram Police Department.

On Monday,Trenton M. Milano, 44, of 9170 Asbury Road, allegedly led an officer from Hiram Township into Geauga County. Hiram Police Chief Brian Gregory said Milano was going at speeds exceeding 100 miles per hour and weaving in and out of traffic on Route 422 while on a motorcycle.

The Hiram officer tried to stop Milano for going left of center around 5:15 p.m., Gregory said, while both the officer and Milano were on Route 700 northbound. Shortly after the pursuit began, Gregory said, excessive speeds made it unsafe and it was called off. Milano turned onto Route 422 and the officer turned around, Gregory said.

While heading back toward the police department, the officer spotted Milano in a parking lot. Milano hit the officers patrol car, causing minor damage, and was arrested at 5:26 p.m.

Milano was charged with failure to comply with the order or signal of a police officer, a third-degree felony, obstructing official business, a fifth-degree felony, resisting arrest, a second-degree misdemeanor, and having an open container, a minor misdemeanor.

He was placed in the Portage County jail in lieu of a 10% of $10,000 bond and has pleaded not guilty.

Patrolmen with the Warren County Ohio State Highway Patrol also helped in the arrest.
