Weathersfield
— A 32-year-old Weathersfield man faces charges of grand larceny, aggravated operation without owner’s consent, grossly negligent operation and attempting to elude, Vermont State Police said Saturday.

Police said Joey Bergeron was riding a dirt bike on Friday at about 8:30 a.m. when he passed Vermont State Police Trooper Nicholas Arlington, who was clearing from a traffic stop on Route 106 in Weathersfield.

Arlington attempted to stop Bergeron, but he refused to pull over, police said in a news release. Arlington followed the bike into Springfield, Vt., where he lost sight of it. As state police troopers and Springfield and Chester police officers attempted to find the bike, they received numerous calls from citizens with information about its location, Arlington said.
