Police located the motorcycle and the suspect a short time later in a parking lot in the 200 block on Marconi Boulevard.
While searching the suspect, officers say they found a handheld conductive energy weapon, and 28.9 g of methamphetamine with a street value of roughly $2,890.
A 35-year-old Brampton man has been charged with unauthorized possession of a restricted weapon, failing to stop for police, failing to comply with a release order, and possession of a schedule one substance for the purpose of trafficking.
