Police Say Driver Gets Three Speeding Tickets In An Hour To Make Court Date

March 9, 2012 5:30 AM



PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) ? Traffic officers along Interstate 84 in Oregon?s Columbia River Gorge say a lead-footed driver was in such a hurry to make a court date on a meth possession charge that he racked up $2,000 worth of speeding tickets in an hour.

Police say 34-year-old Jose Romero-Valenzuela of Las Vegas, Nev., was zooming west Wednesday morning and got pulled over three times ? first at 105 mph, then at 98 mph and finally at 92 mph.



Police say the last ticket appeared to have an effect. Down the road a bit, a trooper set up watch and clocked him at the limit, 65 mph.

Besides fines and penalties, police say his license could be suspended for up to 90 days if he?s found guilty on the citation alleging driving in excess of 100 mph.

Police confirm he was indeed scheduled for a court appearance later Wednesday in Oregon City, south of Portland.

I had a defendant get pulled over on the way to court for a trial...one of the other officers was all excited to wait for him after the trial but, whoops, he went to jail instead.

When I saw this was from a Seattle paper I thought it might be Cougs.

I wish, man.  That would be hilarious...

Well, if it was Cougs it would have read, "Man Gets Three Speeding Tickets and Four HOV Violations On Way To Court"

I think "meth possession charge" pretty much explains it all.
