More than 50 dirt bikes and all-terrain vehicles were seen recklessly rolling along State Road A1A on Fort Lauderdale beach Sunday afternoon, and police were able to make at least one arrest.
Jeffrid Ducenord, 19, came from Delray Beach to join the beachfront ride. He was arrested about 6 p.m. while sitting on a yellow Suzuki that had stalled out near Cortez Street, according to the police report.
An officer on routine patrol followed the pack as it headed south, illegally snaking through traffic, the report stated.
