BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. — A man was arrested for driving under the influence and speeding after being caught going 103 mph on State Road 528 in Brevard County early Saturday morning.
Michael Tengstedt was pulled over by the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office for speeding and was suspected of DUI. Sheriff Wayne Ivey commented on the incident, highlighting the dangers of driving at excessive speeds and under the influence.
The incident happened when the deputy clocked Tengstedt’s vehicle going 103 mph, a violation under Florida’s new “super speeder” law. When stopped, Tengstedt admitted to driving “a little fast” and said he was on his way to go fishing.
The deputy said he noted signs of impairment in Tengstedt, who then failed roadside sobriety tests and refused to give a breath sample. Tengstedt was arrested, charged with driving under the influence and speeding over 100 mph, and held on a $1,000 bond.
Ivey emphasized that driving at such high speeds and under the influence poses significant risks, warning that such actions will lead to jail time in Brevard County.
