A Cedartown man remained in jail on multiple felony and misdemeanor charges after he refused to pull over for a traffic stop on his motorcycle, and instead ended up laying his bike down at the end of a high-speed chase on Highway 27 and resisted police when he was tackled to the ground.

Polk County Police arrested Carl David Mason, 50, of 288 Morton Springs Road, Cedartown, when he was spotted by officers while he was riding his 1984 Yamaha around 10:15 p.m. on Sunday near Johnson Lake and Cornelius Roads, and reported he was swerving from the double yellow to the fog lines, and made a wide turn into the wrong lane onto Berry Road.

When the officer tried to stop him, the driver later identified as Mason sped up, eventually leading officers onto Highway 27 South via Judkin Mill Road and got up to at least 90 mph during the pursuit.

Mason eventually lost control of his Yamaha and laid it down in the grass median after he tried to cross unsuccessfully, and tried to walk away from officers toward the roadway despite orders to get to the ground.

Police eventually brought Mason to the ground and forced him to give up his hands before he was cuffed.

A search of his person yielded a glass pipe with suspected methamphetamine within.

He was cleared at Polk Medical Center after the incident and no injuries were reported.

Mason was charged with felonies for fleeing or attempting to elude police, possession of methamphetamine and possession of tools for the commission of a crime. Additional misdemeanor charges include three counts of obstruction of law enforcement officers, as well as single charges for failure to maintain lane, reckless driving, motorcycle: no insurance, driving while license suspended or revoked, suspended registration, and too fast for conditions.

He remains in jail on a $16,000 bond.
