Update: Motorcyclist in arrest video says police are unfairly making example of him

FARGO (KVRR) – Fargo Police released video of an officer arresting a motorcycle rider for reckless endangerment and reckless driving last week.

The arrest happened May 28 after the officer saw the rider speeding down 45th Street S. The officer tried stopping the motorcycle, but police say the rider was speeding and lane-splitting.

Later that day, the officer saw the motorcycle at a gas station in south Fargo and arrested 27-year-old Brendan Castronuovo of Fargo.

In the video, the officer shows Castronuovo a video of him speeding down 45th Street S. and explains why he is being arrested.

The motorcycle was impounded.

Castronuovo says the release of the video caught him by surprise and says he feels police are unfairly making an example of him.

“I’m looking at disputing the charges because they inaccurately reflect the current situation,” Castronuovo said.
