An Oak Bluffs man was arrested and charged with multiple infractions on Sunday after police said he led them on a high-speed motorcycle chase through several downtown residential neighborhoods.

He was charged with failure to stop for police, unlicensed operation, trespassing with a motor vehicle, speeding, failure to stop at (four) stop signs and operating to endanger.
