A Binghamton man is facing felony weapons and other charges after being caught in the City of Binghamton while fleeing from police on a motorcycle.
On Wednesday, August 27, 2025, just before 10 p.m., members of the Broome County Sheriff’s Office Strategic Response Group (SRG) observed a motorcycle operating on Jarvis Street in the City of Binghamton with improper registration plates. When members of the unit attempted a traffic stop on the motorcycle, the operator failed to comply and led deputies on a pursuit throughout the City of Binghamton for just under 10 minutes.
Broome County Sheriff’s Office Deputies responded to the area to assist by creating a perimeter. The operator of the motorcycle lost control around the area of Recreation Park and attempted to flee on foot. After a short foot pursuit, deputies took the operator into custody.
The operator of the motorcycle was identified as Brian Harrison Jr., age 28 of Binghamton, NY. Harrison was subsequently found to be in illegal possession of a loaded Taurus .45 caliber handgun, as well as a quantity of Methamphetamine.
