Troopers spotted a speeding 2005 Ducati 800 Super Sport motorcycle on US-92, west of Berkley Road. Troopers attempted a traffic stop, but the rider fled from Troopers at speeds in excess of 110 MPH on several local roadways. Once on Winter Lake Road, the rider slowed and dropped a backpack upon the roadway, then continued to flee. The rider continued to a gas station parking lot, dismounted the motorcycle, and surrendered to Troopers.
The rider was identified as Kenneth Albert Fike, 41, of Port St. Lucie. Located a short time later, the backpack was found to contain the Fike’s wallet, a 9mm handgun, cannabis, drug paraphernalia including needles, a scale, and a bong, as well as methamphetamine.
Fike was arrested and delivered to the Polk County Jail, charged with Fleeing & Eluding, Driving while license suspended, Possession of Firearm by Felon, Possession of Ammunition by Felon, Possession of Methamphetamine, Possession of Cannabis, and Possession of Paraphernalia.
