Officials say over the last week or so they have tried to stop Benfer while he was riding his motorcycle, a 2004 or 2005 Suzuki GSXR, claiming Benfer has been taunting deputies, Huntington Police, Indiana State Police and local Marhsals into a pursuit, reaching very dangerous speeds.

They also say Benfer recently fired a weapon in city limits.
