Florida Woman Arrested After Deputies Say She Drove 107 MPH to Reach Little Caesars Before Closing
FLORIDA — A Florida woman is facing charges after deputies say she was caught traveling 107 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone because she was trying to reach a Little Caesars restaurant before it closed for the night.
Deputies Clock Driver at Over 100 MPH
According to WTVT, the incident occurred in Palm Harbor, where deputies observed a Kia speeding at nearly double the posted limit. The driver, identified as 21-year-old Yazmin Erazo, was pulled over shortly after the high-speed detection.
Authorities reported that when questioned about her dangerous speed, Erazo allegedly told deputies she was rushing to get to Little Caesars before closing time.
Driver Taken Into Custody Following Traffic Stop
Deputies took Erazo into custody at the scene. No injuries or collisions were reported, but officials emphasized that driving at such speeds poses a severe threat to both the driver and surrounding motorists. The sheriff’s office noted that reaching a pizza shop before closing does not justify reckless driving at triple-digit speeds, and the arrest was made to ensure public safety.
Case Remains Under Review
Erazo is expected to face charges related to excessive speeding and reckless driving. Additional details, including court dates or further penalties, have not yet been released.
The sheriff’s office did not comment on whether she ultimately made it to Little Caesars. For more local and national breaking news, visit SaludaStandard-Sentinel.com for continuing updates.
