As a lifestyle expert with a keen eye for adventure and a knack for unearthing hidden stories, I must say that Chad Ollinger’s latest escapade has certainly added another layer of intrigue to his already captivating life. Known for his thrilling exploits on Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, it seems that the allure of the unknown doesn’t just stop at buried treasure—it extends to high-speed motorcycle chases and foot pursuits with the local police!


Chad Ollinger, recognized for his work on the Discovery Channel‘s Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, was apprehended in Texas following an incident involving the police, which included a motorbike chase and a foot chase.

The popular television personality is currently dealing with two allegations: eluding an arrest by car and eluding an arrest on foot, as claimed in recent reports from TMZ.

On a late Monday evening, approximately 9 PM, the event transpired as Ollinger, driving his black Harley-Davidson motorcycle, allegedly disregarded a red traffic light directly in front of an undercover law enforcement vehicle.

In my uncontainable excitement, I couldn’t let the authorities dampen my spirits. Initially, I stubbornly resisted pulling over, igniting a short-lived pursuit, as reported by the source.

After he finally came to a halt, it is said that he abandoned the motorcycle and took off running, at which point the police promptly began pursuit. They managed to overtake him and apprehend him not long after.

In conversation with TMZ, Ollinger described the thrilling incident, stating, ‘The only thing I can confirm is this: it was an incredible journey on that Harley-Davidson Street Glide, until I finally dismounted.’

He had also posted a celebratory video marking his 40th birthday in August, thanking the Blind Frog Ranch crew for the party.

The Story at Blind Frog Ranch revolves around Ollinger and his dad, Duane, as they persistently search for an alleged buried fortune rumored to exist on their 160-acre land in the Uinta Basin of Utah.

For over a decade, the father-son duo and their team have been digging through the property, convinced it hides an ancient Aztec fortune worth millions. 

In the upcoming season, Chad and Duane will be accompanied by familiar faces Eric Drummond and Charlie Snider, along with an expanded group of seasoned treasure hunters and specialists.

With each passing week, they encounter various hurdles – everything from peculiar occurrences to delays in their quest for the mysterious hidden wealth, according to Discovery Channel.
