Officials observed a black motorcycle traveling over 105 mph in a 45 mph zone.
The official initiated a traffic stop as the motorcycle continued through multiple turns in the residential neighborhood before finally coming to a stop at a residence.
It was then discovered that a child was riding as a passenger on the back of the motorcycle during the high-speed ride.

Due to the severity of Johnson’s actions, including his excessive speed while transporting a child, he was placed under arrest. Johnson faces two serious charges:
* Child neglect
* Operating a vehicle at 100-plus mph
