KANSAS ( KSNT ) – On Sunday, the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) shared a breathalyzer photo showing a blood alcohol content of .130 or .05 over the legal limit.
According to the KHP, a trooper stopped a driver for speed violations of 114 mph in a 70 mph zone on US-24 Highway. The driver was found with an open container, marijuana and drug paraphernalia. As a result, the driver was arrested.
Last month KHP spokeswoman Candice Breshears said in a written response to 27 News that the fastest driver ticketed so far this year was for a person traveling at 151 mph in Saline County in February . The 36-year-old man, who was driving a 2011 BMW, received a nearly $1,000 fine for the violation.
The highway most prone to speeding violations is I-70 which stretches 424 miles across Kansas. Breshears did say it is not the only road in the state where KHP troopers are witnessing people travel at excessive speeds.
