Wilson observed the three motorcycles traveling at speeds of over 100 MPH.  Wilson activated his emergency lights and siren but none of the motorcycles pulled over and continued to travel at a high rate of speed into the posted 45 MPH zone near Old Field Lane in Prince Frederick.  The traffic light at Md. Rt. 4 and Church Street/Md. Rt. 231 turned red.  One motorcyclist stopped at the red light and the other two turned onto Church Street.  One continued down Church Street toward Main Street, the other turned left at Heritage Boulevard, turning into the parking lot of the Shell gas station.  Wilson followed and attempted to block the cycle in when it turned into the Midas Car Repair parking lot.  The motorcycle made a hard right turn, coming into contact with the front bumper of the patrol vehicle and the driver was ejected.  Wilson subsequently arrested the driver, Joseph Carlos Proctor, 39, of Pomfret, and charged him with negligent driving, reckless driving, speeding, attempting to flee and elude a police officer, possession of drug paraphernalia; a cigar wrapper, and numerous other traffic violations.  The second motorcycle was pursued by Cpl. T. Smith as it maneuvered through traffic barriers on Main Street.  The cycle continued down to Dares Beach Road, traveling east, where Smith lost sight of it.  Det. N. DeFelice located the motorcycle traveling west on Dares Beach Road and began pursuit.  The motorcycle continued to the traffic circle on Dares Beach Road at Armory Road where other units attempted to box it in but the driver went onto the sidewalk to avoid police units.  It then struck a vehicle but continued to attempt to get away.  DeFelice positioned his vehicle to prevent the escape of the cycle, which then struck DeFelice’s vehicle.  The motorcycle fell down and the operator started running on foot but was captured.  He was identified as Marcus Dewayne Fletcher, 41, of Waldorf.  Fletcher was charged with attempting to elude police, reckless driving, negligent driving, speeding and numerous other traffic violations.  The driver of the motorcycle that stopped at the red light was able to successfully elude capture.    Proctor and Fletcher were both treated for minor injuries at Calvert Memorial Hospital and released.  No other drivers were injured.
