According to a White County Sheriff’s Office report Scoenbrun’s motorcycle was weaving when it passed a stationary radar near the intersection of Highways 75 and 17. A deputy began to follow the motorcycle when he noticed it began to weave as it crossed the bridge.

The report further states that Schoenbrun attempted to pass a car at Hwy. 384 and accelerated in the passing lane and that is when the deputy activated his emergency blue lights and siren.

As it entered a curve near Windy Acres, the motorcycle began to slide on the asphalt near Yonah Pizza and Subs. The deputy said when he went to aid Schoenbrun, he noticed the strong smell of alcohol and asked if he had been drinking and he said yes.

The investigation was turned over the Georgia State Patrol. A GSP spokesman said Thursday afternoon that charges are pending.
