A Simi Valley man is in handcuffs after trying to outrun the law on a motorcycle, only to end up smashing into a curb.
The chase went down Wednesday night, April 22, 2026, around 7:30 p.m. It started when an officer working a distracted driving detail, part of a month-long regional crackdown, tried to pull over a biker near the intersection of Cochran and Sequoia.
Instead of slowing down, the rider pinned the throttle and led police on a high-speed pursuit through city streets.
The chase came to a crashing halt near Tapo and Guardian Streets when the biker lost control and slammed into a curb.
Officers identified the rider as 38-year-old Brandon Harrison. Fortunately, Harrison was uninjured, and no bystanders or other drivers were hit during the pursuit.
Harrison was hauled off to jail and booked for felony evading and driving under the influence.
He thought he could pull a fast one on the police, but now he is facing serious legal consequences in the Ventura County court system.
