A chase early that started early today on highway 123 near Seneca wound up on the Clemson campus where a motorcycle rider nearly dropped his bike. Authorities arrested western North Carolina resident Eric Joseph Fontaine on charges of reckless driving, failure to stop and simple possession of marijuana. Spokesman for the Oconee Sheriff’s Office, Jimmy Watt, said at 3:45 this morning a Triumph motorcycle moving at high speed was chased by a deputy sheriff into Pickens County. The bike stalled out and that allowed the deputy to corral its operator, at the corner of Cherry Road and McAlister Road.
