Motorcyclist boasts crimes on social media, arrested in Whatcom County

Washington State Patrol arrested a 19-year-old motorcyclist in Whatcom County following a lengthy investigation into his criminal behavior. The suspect previously led troopers on a high-speed chase in March and later boasted about it on social media, prompting further scrutiny from investigators. In addition to the chase, authorities found evidence connecting him to a hit-and-run incident from January, tied to a road rage altercation. One of his social media posts included a photo of his motorcycle speeding away from law enforcement with the caption “Here piggy piggy. ” He was taken into custody on Saturday but was released from Whatcom County Jail the following day after posting bail.

This incident serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of sharing criminal exploits online. Law enforcement officials emphasize the importance of responsible social media use to prevent self-incrimination. The case may lead to further legal repercussions as investigators continue to review the suspect's online activities.
