Police to Draft Reckless Driving Warrants for YouTube Motorcyclist 'Tyler D'

Two warrants will likely be drafted through the Goose Creek Police Department for a motorcyclist that made headlines last month after a helmet camera allegedly showed him outrunning a police officer. 

Goose Creek Patch was the first to report on YouTube user "Tyler D" posting the video. Since the article ran, views on the video have jumped to more than 18,000. Click here to watch the video on YouTube

City police wrote incident reports Sunday for the to-be drafted warrants. 

The first warrant is for a June 21 incident, where a Goose Creek officer observed a motorcyclist "popping a wheelie" on Red Bank Road. The incident is caught on camera by GCPD — but also by Tyler Martin Denniston, 22, of Goose Creek, who police say is "Tyler D." Police say the helmet cam video by Denniston shows him in speeds of excess 100 mph. 

The second warrant is for a May 17 incident. A witness called about a man on a blue and white motorcycle driving recklessly. A GCPD investigation led police to a video labeled "Road Rage in Goose Creek" by Tyler D. 

According to the report, Denniston drives up between two vehicles on Red Bank Road and argues with one of the drivers. He then backs off and begins revving his motorcycle. When the light turns green, Denniston "lane splits" the vehicles and continues at a high rate of speed, according to the report. He was later pulled over by North Charleston Police — an incident Denniston also posted on YouTube.

Edited 12:15 p.m. to correct information regarding the warrants, which have not yet been drafted, according to Goose Creek Police.
