An Indian River County deputy was struck by a motorcycle while trying to pull over the rider.
Zachary Marcinek, 25, of Delray Beach was arrested and charged with aggravated battery of a law enforcement officer and fleeing/eluding police.
Marcinek is out on bond.
At about 5:52 p.m. Sunday, Indian River County Sheriff’s Deputy Ron Adamson was patrolling an uncompleted subdivision which had been abandoned near the 9900 block of U.S. 1.
The sheriff's office said Adamson was on foot when he spotted a man driving and a woman passenger on a motorcycle.
They attempted to flee from Adamson, who the sheriff's office said motioned with his hand and gave the driver a verbal order to stop.
Marcinek sped passed the Adamson, striking him and causing him to fall to the ground.
A vehicle description was given to other police units about the incident.
At about, 6:06 p.m., an officer with the Fellsmere Police Department saw the motorcycle on County Road 512 at 108th Ave.
A traffic stop was attempted, but Marcinek fled and headed south on Interstate 95.
The Indian River County Sheriff’s Office joined the Fellsmere officer and followed the fleeing motorcycle into St. Lucie County.
Once the Indian River County sheriff's helicopter was able to locate and follow the motorcycle, who had reached speeds of 130 mph, ground units stopped their pursuit.
At approximately 6:22 p.m., Marcinek finally stopped near Indrio Road and Kings Highway and arrested by the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office.
Adamson, a 22-year law enforcement veteran, sustained an injury to his hand and head. He was being treated at a local hospital Sunday night.
