Man on stolen moped arrested after fleeing

A 57-year-old Stock Island man driving a stolen moped on a bicycle path was arrested Sunday for fleeing from a Deputy.

Richard Wade Gulley was charged with fleeing and eluding, resisting without violence, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia. Gulley — formerly of St. Louis, Missouri —had warrants for his arrest from that state.

The Sheriff’s Office observed Gulley riding a moped southbound on a bicycle path near Mile Marker 7 at approximately 12:37 a.m. Gulley failed to stop, turned onto 2nd Street on Stock Island, and then made another turn into Wrecker’s Cay apartments, before attempting to flee on foot. He was quickly detained.
