A 30-year-old Imperial man was arrested after he was seen pushing a motorcycle with no license plates along a road in the Jefferson County portion of Fenton. The man allegedly said he had traded for the 1997 Yamaha YFZ motorcycle, but he didn’t have paperwork showing ownership, the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office reported.
On May 8, a deputy saw the man pushing the bike on Saline Road near Crimson Oak Drive and stopped to see if the man needed help. The deputy noticed that the bike didn’t have license plates and checked the vehicle identification number and discovered the motorcycle had been reported stolen in St. Louis, the report said.
The man was arrested, booked and released pending application for warrants. The Sheriff’s Office will seek a charge against the man through the Jefferson County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office for possession of stolen property, spokesman Grant Bissell said.
