Fleeing Trooper
At 1 33 Miles Per Hour
A Georgia motorcyclist who ad
mitted speeding at more than 130
miles per hour while trying to elude
a state trooper was given an eight
month suspended jail sentence after
pleading guilty in Brunswick
County District Court last week
Benjamin Nienping Chen. 29. of
Alpharetta was arrested after he
failed to stop for Trooper T.W.
Caulder. who had to chase his 1993
Suzuki at speeds of up to 133 mph
on U.S. 17 last June after Chen
failed to stop for the officer's blue
light and siren.
Caulder said that Chen continued
to "hinder, delay and obstruct" him
in the performance of his duties by
"struggling, pulling away and scuf
fling" with him after Caulder placed
him under arrest.
Chen pleaded guilty Tuesday
(Nov. 23) to charges of speeding to
elude arrest, failing to yield to a po
lice officer, resisting arrest and
speeding at 133 mph in a 55 mph
zone.
He was given four 60-day jail
sentences, suspended on the condi
tion that he pay a S365 fine and
court costs. He was ordered not to
operate a motor vehicle in North
Carolina for two years. Chen was al
so put on unsupervised probation for
two years.
