A Bristol Township man with a number of criminal cases on his docket was arrested recently for a June police chase.

Robert Coccio, 35, was collared in mid-November on a Bristol Township police warrant on charges of flight to avoid apprehension, fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, reckless driving, and driving while operating privileges suspended or revoked.

Coccio was arrested just days earlier on four bench warrants in Langhorne by the Bucks County Sheriff’s Office, according to the sheriff’s office.

Coccio is awaiting upcoming court appearances on a Sept. 2023 Middletown Township fleeing or attempting to elude an officer case, an Oct. 2023 receiving stolen property and unauthorized use of a vehicle case out of Lower Southampton Township, a Dec. 2023 Bensalem Township burglary case, and an early 2025 Bristol Township drug case.

For his most recent arrest, Coccio is accused of fleeing Bristol Township police while on a motorcycle.

Police said Coccio revved the motorcycle’s engine on June 2 and took off as an officer attempted to stop him in the area of Route 13 and Bath Road.

Along Route 13, Coccio pulled into the FedEx facility driveway and got his motorcycle running after it stalled as officers were attempting to stop him, police said.

Coccio laid his motorcycle down on Route 13 in the area and fled on foot.

Police said Coccio scaled a fence and went onto the train tracks.

The 35-year-old man was last seen entering woods in the area, police said.

A police K-9 unit responded and attempted to track Coccio, but he could not be located.

The motorcycle had a plate that didn’t belong to it, police said.

Police ended up using photos from past arrests and PennDOT to identify Coccio as the motorcyclist who fled.
