A 19-year-old was recently arrested driving 120 MPH in Central Florida.
A Polk County Sheriff’s Office deputy noticed a gray Chevy Impala traveling east at a high-rate of speed on State Road 60 near Flamingo Drive in Bartow. Initially, the Impala was doing 78 MPH in a 45 MPH zone.
According to local law enforcement, the vehicle began weaving through traffic, and increased its speed to 120 MPH in a 55 MPH zone.
It appeared the driver saw the patrol vehicle, because it began braking suddenly, and then pulled to a stop beside an unoccupied building.
The deputy pulled up and conducted a traffic stop. The driver was identified as 19-year-old Isaiah Garcia of Haines City.
Isaiah was taken to the Polk County Jail where he was charged with Dangerous Excessive Speeding and Reckless Driving.
