A late-night high-speed motorcycle chase spanning multiple counties ended in a crash and arrest just south of Roland, according to the Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s Office.

Steven Denton, 34, is facing a felony charge of endangering others while eluding/ attempting to elude police officer and a criminal misdemeanor count of resisting an officer. He received a $10,000 bond and is now set for an August 27 felony disposition docket.

Authorities say the pursuit began around 2:16 a.m. on June 3, when the Sebastian County Sheriff ’s Office reported a motorcycle traveling at dangerously high speeds westbound on Hwy. 64, nearing the Oklahoma state line. The motorcycle, later determined to be operated by Denton, reportedly reached speeds of over 140 miles per hour during the chase.

Deputy Grant Pruitt of the Sequoyah County Sheriff ’s Office joined the pursuit as the motorcycle approached Roland. According to the official report, Denton’s motorcycle passed Central High Road at a speed of more than 100 mph before merging onto westbound I-40, accelerating even further.

The chase continued at extreme speeds before Denton exited I-40 at mile marker 308, turning south onto Hwy. 59 near Wild Horse Mountain. After several miles in LeFlore County, Denton abruptly reversed course via a median U-turn and headed back north.

The pursuit took a final turn when the motorcycle veered west onto South 4620 Road, then turned onto a dead-end street where Denton lost control and crashed the bike.

Deputies quickly moved in to apprehend Denton, who initially resisted arrest but was eventually taken into custody.

A female passenger, identified as Stacy Ezell, was also at the scene but was unharmed and released after evaluation by EMS.

Denton was transported to a nearby hospital for injuries sustained in the crash and later booked into the Sequoyah County Detention Center on multiple charges, including felony evading, reckless driving, and resisting arrest.

No other injuries or damage to property were reported.
