SPOKANE COUNTY, Wash. — Deputies arrested a man after he crashed his motorcycle and tried to run away on Sunday, according to Spokane County Sheriff’s Office.
Around 10:30 p.m. on August 24, a SCSO deputy noticed a motorcycle without a license plate driving south on Market Street near Parksmith Drive in Mead.
The deputy turned on his patrol lights and attempted to pull over the motorcycle, driven by 37-year-old Lucas Clevenger.

The deputy then saw Clevenger crash his motorcycle when he tried to cross the railroad tracks north of the parking lot.
After the crash, Clevenger ran into a nearby field. The deputy launched a drone and used thermal imaging to track him through the brush and trees.
Deputies closed in on Clevenger and arrested him.
SCSO said he had multiple arrest warrants.
Clevenger was booked into Spokane County Jail for eluding law enforcement and his outstanding warrants including, violating a court order and misdemeanor obstructing.
