Rush County law enforcement is asking for the public's help to find a motorcycle rider who was involved in a pursuit on the 4th of July.

The Rush County Sheriff's office and Rushville Police tried to perform a traffic stop on the motorcycle but the operator drove off while reaching high rates of speed and driving off the roadway several times. The pursuit began on West State Road 44 on the edge of Rushville at about 9:30 a.m.

The Rush County Sheriff's Office is asking the public for help in identifying the person in the pictures.  The office notes that the license plate has a clear cover but had been scratched to make it difficult to read the plate.

Anyone with information should call the Rush County Sheriff's Department at (765) 932-2931.
