Two Central Florida men were recently arrested for racing on I-4.
The two Tampa men were arrested by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office after they were caught racing each other on Interstate 4 near Davenport.
At about 2:09am, a Polk County deputy notice a tan Honda Civic and a black Volkswagen Passat traveling at 105 MPH, and swerving through traffic. The speed limit for that area is 70 MPH.
A traffic stop was conducted on both vehicles, and the drivers were taken into custody without incident. They were identified as 23-year-old Christian Gonzalez Cornelio and 23-year-old Micah Crouch.
According to law enforcement, the pair were taken to the Polk County Jail and charged with Dangerous Excessive Speed (going over 100 MPH) and Racing.
According to the local deputy, both men were surprised that they were being arrested for their actions.
In their defense, it is a new law.
