Ryan Austin Hardison, 33, of Douglasville, Georgia, was northbound just south of Atlantic Avenue around 3 a.m. on Nov. 8 when the trooper, running laser speed enforcement from the left shoulder, eyeballed the car at about 112 mph. In an arrest report reviewed by BocaNewsNow.com, A LIDAR reading from 758 feet put it at 117. The trooper caught up and pulled the sedan over on the northbound shoulder south of Woolbright Road in Boynton Beach.
According to the arrest report, Hardison asked why he was being stopped and was told he’d find out once he handed over his ID. He replied that “it did not work like that,” then eventually produced a Georgia driver’s license. The trooper wrote that Hardison became verbally argumentative when told the reason for the stop, so backup was called as a precaution. Hardison got out of the car when asked and was arrested at about 3:14 a.m. His car was towed.
He was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on misdemeanor charges of dangerous excessive speeding — 50 mph or more over the limit — and driving with a suspended license. A court date is set for Dec. 9 at the South County Courthouse in Delray Beach…
