An Orland Park man accused of recklessly driving a motorcycle around the village, mocking police and shooting videos of the escapades, is scheduled to start his trial Tuesday.
Justin Jachimiec, 22, has pleaded not guilty to charges against him, including two counts of felony fleeing and eluding police and other traffic violations. Orland Park police arrested him in March. Three months later, he was in McDonough County court for different charges of fleeing and eluding against him, and was acquitted.
Jachimiec’s video surfaced on YouTube, posted under the user name “wheelerdrivebandit," where the rider is nicknamed the “Orland Ghost Rider” in the text. The account has since been taken down, though at least one of the videos remains online through a different user account.
Jachimiec was arrested again for missing an October court date.
The trial is scheduled to begin Tuesday in Judge Carmen K. Aguilar's courtroom in Bridgeview.

Hope the Judge has common sense?

Delayed?, to sort out his last no show to court?
I would bet on a stupid turkey to find a way to cross the road before our judicial system would make up its' mind.
This makes Mayberry look like a "THINK TANK".
