A Michigan State Trooper nabbed a driver going 101mph in a posted 60mph construction zone in Oakland County on Wednesday night.
The MSP says a trooper was on patrol along westbound I-696 when they noticed a Dodge Durango blasting down the highway at a high rate of speed. The posted speed limit was 60mph but the driver was clocked doing 101.
Once pulled over the driver told the trooper they had a Glock .40 cal handgun in a backpack on the front seat. The gun was seized and the driver was arrested. Charges are pending.
“We continue to see drivers driving at high speeds across the state,” Michigan F/Lt. Mike Shaw said. “Driving over one hundred miles an hour in a construction zone does not only put the driver at risk, it is also a danger to the workers in the zone and other drivers. Great job getting this dangerous driver and firearm off the street.”
