In South Dakota -Citizens helped police arrest a motorcyclist charged with several drug-related charges.  An officer originally tried to pull over the 29-year-old man for speeding, but he refused to stop.  Police did not pursue him because of traffic congestion, but the cyclist shortly lost control of his bike and tried to run from the scene.  People helped police capture the suspect and a search turned up more than 8-grams of crystal Meth in the man’s possession, along with paraphernalia.  the suspect now faces charges including possession, possession with intent to distribute, possession of drug paraphernalia and numerous traffic violations.
