At approximately 4:30 p.m. on September 17, 2022, a Georgia state police officer observed a black motorcycle with no marking gaps nearly hit his squad car.
The officer activated his 911 call to initiate a traffic stop, but the motorcyclist never stopped and a police pursuit began, according to ‘s incident report.
The suspect weaved between cars on a busy freeway through Henry and Clayton counties as Georgia state police officers gave chase.
Police eventually lost contact with the vehicle, but the suspect had recorded the chase and posted it on social media, which eventually gave investigators a lead.

On December 1, 2022 — nearly three months after the suspect attempted to evade police — Clayton County Lieutenant TC Reimers learned of videos posted to You Tube and TikTok.
The videos were filmed with the Roseberrya camera and then uploaded to his social media channels, according to the police report.
The videos were filmed by Roseberry on camera and then uploaded to his social media channels, according to the police report.
The user posted the videos on YouTube and called himself @NoHope_ and on TikTok a user called himself @No Hope_. The user also linked to an Instagram page where he called himself realcharlesr, according to the police report.
Reimers conducted a Thomson Portal search for all 2022 Triumph Street Triple motorcycles registered to someone by the name Charles in Georgia.
The search turned up only four bikes, and one of the bikes, a black 2022 model, was registered to someone named Charles, the report said.
During the investigation, Reimers also found photos of the motorcycle at the suspect’s place of residence. Reimers then contacted the Georgia State Patrol and shared the information he had found with them.

A page from the DPS incident report lists some of the charges, including “speeding over the limit, driving on the wrong side of the road, improper lane changing, etc.”
Another page of the incident report lists the suspect’s charge of “reckless driving, driving in an emergency lane, driving within a median, operating a motorcycle in a traffic lane.”
On December 14, 2022, both officers traveled to the 1000th block of Shangrila Circle, Riverdale, GA to conduct a “knock and talk” at Roseberry’s home.
During the “knock and talk,” officers looked at the suspect’s motorcycle, and at that point Roseberry admitted that he was the driver who fled the Georgia State Patrol Trooper in the original incident.
“Without Lt. Reimers’ diligent efforts to go above and beyond the call of duty, the perpetrator most likely would not have been identified and could have continued to endanger the citizens of Clayton County,” the press release said.
