Speeding Motorcyclist Nabbed Thru Social Media

March 28, 2024 By Contributed Article Leave a Comment

A motorcyclist who eluded officials after a high speed chase was his own worst enemy after investigators identified him from posts he made on social media.

According to a press release from the Hamilton County Sheriff’s Office, on Sunday a motorcyclist fled from a deputy attempting to make a lawful stop on Highway 27. Since that time, the deputy has been working leads to identify the motorcyclist and obtain an arrest warrant.

Utilizing an Instagram account operated by the suspect, the deputy located numerous recently posted videos of the suspect driving extremely reckless, including lane splitting at speeds of over 170 mph, through parts of Hamilton County. An additional video was also posted showing the suspect evading the deputy from March 24.

On Wednesday at approximately 6:00 pm, deputies located the suspect, identified as Carter H. Costo at a business on Signal Mountain Road and he was taken into custody without incident.

Costo is being charged with the following: four counts of reckless driving, drag racing, evading arrest, and a registration violation.
