A Mauldin man is facing multiple charges after police said he posted GoPro videos of himself fleeing from police on YouTube.

Mauldin police said 26-year-old Derek Kellett faces five different counts of reckless driving, all of which involve five separate clips uploaded to the YouTube.

Police said they received a tip on a social media site that led them to the videos, which they said showed the suspect reaching speeds upwards of 115 mph.

The videos were posted by the user RiderLifeStyle, according to police. One of the videos on the user's page is titled "Yamaha R6 Runs From Cops- Full High Speed Chase!!"

They said they were able to track him down pretty quickly after they saw the videos.

"My first reaction was 'wow,' how did this person not wreck?" said Sgt. Ben Ford with the Mauldin Police Department. "The speed at which he was going, in and out of traffic, just very bold driving and dangerous driving."

Police seized a computer, files and a GoPro camera that was reportedly used to film the incidents, officers said.

"We really take serious the driving he was doing and we don't want others to congratulate him because people could die from that behavior," said Ford.

At a bond hearing on Thursday, a judge gave Kellett $445 cash bond on each charge.

I wonder if he ever got caught, odds are good he got away.

Thanks buddy, on behalf of everyone else on two wheels i'd like to extend our appreciation for all the negative PR and bad sentiment you stirred up towards riders in the hundred plus people you passed while driving like a jackass...

Same thing happened around here from a group that like to street race and do other hooligan shit on their bikes... coupla youTube videos, a few arrests, starting to happen more and more. If you get away with a crime it probably isn't the best idea to post video of yourself committing that crime for the entire world to see - unless you want to get caught.

Me thinks he could have shaved at least 5 seconds off each corner.

Yes, cops can link the bike to the owner but they can not prove the owner was riding the bike at the time of the chase.

The only reason this idiot got caught was because he uploaded the video on his youtube account.
