A man on a motorcycle with a female passenger ran a red light, looked back and made eye contact with police officers and then led them on a high-speed chase through Clearwater, Fla., weaving in and out of traffic at speeds well over 100 mph and running multiple red lights. He told arresting officers that he was on a first date with his passenger and was “trying to show off ” for her. The woman told the cops that she was “screaming at him to stop, but he refused.”
