She was doing 117 miles per hour. Zero prior speeding tickets. No idea it was now a criminal offense. She went to jail anyway. And her husband — sitting right next to her — almost did too. On July 12, 2025, a Florida officer clocked a vehicle traveling 117 mph on Route 19, triggering a custodial arrest under the state's newly amended dangerous speed statute.
