I have many of the same questions, but it's not the best time to be asking them. Apparently, the guy on the bike was a "known troublemaker with a long rap sheet", was out barhopping and it was like 3am when the cop pulled him over. None of those answers the key question tho.
The area MS150 overnights in Sandusky and there have often been run-ins between the cops and cyclists riding in the dark to the start point of the return trip...this year could be interesting.
