While trying to get away from a state trooper as he traveled at a high rate of speed on Route 220 in Woodward Township about 2 a.m. on June 29, motorcyclist Sean D. Allen suddenly began throwing numerous items at the officer’s cruiser, including a set of wrenches and a hammer, it was alleged in an affidavit. The trooper was riding right up alongside Allen as the 36-year-old motorcyclist, traveling in excess of 80 mph, began to throw about 10 items at him, which also included a blue bag, a comb and a pair of sunglasses that he had been wearing, police said in the court document. The pursuit continued west on Route 220 and then north for about three miles north on Route 287 before the trooper terminated his involvement due to safety concerns.

However, before the pursuit began, the trooper was able to get the cycle’s registration, which came back to Allen. The trooper had activated his cruiser’s emergency lights after Allen allegedly committed several lane violations. Police tracked down surveillance video at a store in Lycoming County that showed the motorcyclist inside the business about an hour before the pursuit, the affidavit stated. The image on the video matched Allen’s photo of his driver’s license, which police obtained through a mobile computer terminal after entering the vehicle’s registration, court documents stated. At the time of the pursuit, Allen’s license was suspended due to a DUI charge, police said.

Arraigned on Monday before District Judge Christian Frey on charges of fleeing police, propulsion of missiles and 80-plus summary violations, Allen, formerly of Bucks County and now living at 2012 Route 287, Jersey Shore, was released on $10,000 bail.
