A police chase prompted authorities to take drastic action in side-stepping normal procedure for license revocation for a motorcyclist eight-times convicted of driving to endanger in Attleboro.

Attleboro criminal defense attorneys know that it’s rare for police to make a direct request to the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles, requesting an immediate revocation. In this case, however, police have labeled the 33-year-old motorist a menace.

Prosecutors say his long record of traffic violations include eight prior convictions for driving to endanger.
