The officer initiated a traffic stop, but King refused to stop and attempted to flee from officers, ultimately crashing his moped in a yard on Paca Street, police said.

According to the police department, King is wanted on a myriad of felony charges, with more charges pending. Police didn’t say what those specific charges were.
