Transcript:
One of the hoodies is black. It says "be the wolf and a world of sheep." We are near East and heading southbound toward the state line. I'm still in Vigo County. Left to center. If you have anybody close, I can call them. Ten-four, speeds are about 46 mph. We went westbound and are now in Illinois. Speeds about 50 mph, no traffic. The rider appears to be on a white dirt bike with a pink license plate frame. The bike traveled on gravel and through fields. The rider slowed and may be running low on gas. We came into Denison and crossed the tracks. Speeds varied between about 38 and 52 mph. Officers coordinated a stagger to try to slow the rider. The rider turned and went northbound on the local road.
