When they caught them, the moped driver said his name was Calvin Smith, but no records were found for his name through state system searches. The woman with him on the moped also gave information that was unable to be verified.
Both were taken into custody by deputies when an investigating state trooper arrived. GSP said the patrol vehicle was not damaged and the moped only took minor damage.
