A 20-year-old Stillwater motorcyclist charged with going 205 mph down
Hwy. 61 in September pleaded guilty on Wednesday in Wabasha District
Court to speeding and was sentenced to 200 hours of community service.
Judge Terrence Walters placed Tilley on probation for a year and
ordered him to pay $125 in court and probation fees, said the Wabasha
County attorney's office. He will not serve any jail time.
Wabasha County attorney Jim Nordstrom offered the plea agreement and
Tilley accepted. Tilley also admitted to not having a proper motorcycle
license. Under the agreement a reckless driving charge was dropped
The plea agreement states that Tilley was going 205 miles mph in a 65
mph zone, 12 miles south of Wabasha. He was clocked by a Minnestate
state police pilot on Sept. 18, during the Flood Run, a motorcycle
charity event.
The pilot radioed from his aircraft to a state patrol officer in a
squad car who arrested Tilley and gave a ticket to Tilley who was
driving a Honda 1000.
