More than five miles down the road, the driver was apprehended by another deputy, thanks to the quick thinking of the observant First Sergeant, who radioed ahead. A traffic stop was conducted, and the driver was identified as a juvenile driver.
It was also found that the Ford Mustang he was driving had an expired registration and defective brakes. Combined with reckless driving, eluding law enforcement, and speeding, the young driver’s actions put himself and other road users in danger.
He was summonsed accordingly and released into the custody of a parent with a court date set for February 9th. He may not have made it onto the list of most expensive speeding tickets in the world, but he’s not likely to have his record expunged when he turns 18, thanks to harsh state laws.
