โWhile attempting to evade police Acosta crossed the double yellow lines on South Street as well as the fog line while weaving in and out of traffic he almost collided with multiple vehicles,โ Officer Ostiguy said. โAcosta’s operation of the motorcycle put the other motoring public’s safety at risk.โ
Officer Ostiguy said that when Acosta reached the intersection of South Street and Hartford Turnpike, he attempted to take a right turn onto Hartford Turnpike but ended up dumping the bike in the middle of the highway.
โHe then picked himself up from the roadway and ran into a heavily wooded area where he hid from officers as a perimeter was established,โ Officer Ostiguy said. โWhile the perimeter was being established, Acosta jumped a fence on Green Street and was stopped by officers.โ
Officer Ostiguy said that while officers attempted to place Acosta into custody, he resisted arrest by tucking his arms underneath his body while he was prone on the ground.
โAfter a query check of Acosta dispatch confirmed he has a suspended license,โ Officer Ostiguy said. โUpon further investigation of the motorcycle the VIN was also confirmed by dispatch to come back as stolen as of June 24, 2025, out of Oxbridge, ะะ.โ
