According to Sifford, while on patrol on N.C. 152 Wednesday morning just before 4 a.m., two deputies spotted a man riding a motorcycle without a brake light. The deputies attempted to stop the rider, who sped off toward Rockwell.
The motorcyclist traveled on N.C. 152, toward Railroad Street, then to Depot Street and back onto N.C. 152, Sifford said.
The motorcyclist then traveled on Emmanuel Church Road, to Kluttz Road, onto Rimer Road, Gold Hill Drive and N.C. 73, before the chase ended on Sloop Arthur Drive in Cabarrus County.
Eudy allegedly jumped off the motorcycle and ran from the area. He was quickly apprehended by deputies and a Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office K-9.
Eudy was found with a gun holster with no gun as well as $1,157 and four grams of meth. Deputies searched the area but did not locate a gun, Sifford said.
Sifford said during the chase a Rowan County deputy struck a deer and had to discontinue the chase. A Cabarrus County officer picked up the chase. The officer was not injured.
Eudy remains in the Rowan County jail under a total $57,500 secured bond.
