CHP officers and other law enforcement agencies arrested 25-year-old Seth Peyton Mays of Greenfield man in Templeton on Thursday, May 2 as a result of a motorcycle pursuit that started in Monterey County. The chase began at around 7:49 a.m. when a King City CHP officer attempted to overtake the high-speed motorcycle traveling 130 mph on southbound Highway 101 near Jolon Road. A CHP helicopter found the motorcycle matching the description traveling at 110 mph. Despite multiple attempts both in Monterey County and then in SLO County to pull over the motorcycle, the rider intentionally accelerated to speeds in excess of 140 mph while splitting traffic prior to fleeing westbound on State Route 46 West towards Cambria. East of the Vineyard Drive roundabout, officers again attempted to stop the motorcycle and the rider passed over double yellow lines at high rates of speed in an attempt to elude capture. Once at the roundabout, the rider fled southbound on Vineyard Drive until CHP units caught him and prevented further flight. Mays was arrested and booked without further incident for felony evading of a peace officer.
