A 57-year-old Florida man driving a stolen moped on a bicycle path was arrested Sunday for fleeing from a Deputy.
Richard Wade Gulley of Stock Island was charged with fleeing and eluding, resisting without violence, possession of marijuana, and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.
Gulley, formerly of St. Louis, Missouri, had warrants for his arrest from that state, deputies say.
