A suspect is in custody after failing to stop for an Arizona Department of Public Safety trooper.

DPS said a trooper attempted to stop 22-year-old Noah Lin, who was riding a motorcycle, near the Loop 101 and 67th Avenue on Wednesday morning but he failed to stop and troopers were involved in a brief pursuit. 

A DPS helicopter was able to follow the motorcycle as it exited the freeway at Interstate 17 and Pinnacle Peak Road.

Lin bailed from the motorcycle in an industrial area near 23rd Avenue and Pinnacle Peak and was taken into custody.

No word what Lin was originally being pulled over for before the pursuit.
