Authorities were busy last weekend chasing down speeding motorists
A 24-year-old Kendall, Florida man was arrested Saturday afternoon after fleeing from law enforcement on U.S. 1, Monroe County Sheriffâs Office spokesman Adam Linhardt said.
Ignacio Luis Lamadrid Gomez was arrested on felony charges of reckless driving, fleeing and eluding, resisting arrest and operating a motor vehicle with no valid driverâs license, Linhardt said.
The pursuit began at approximately 3 p.m. when the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission reported a driver in a blue Honda fled from them during a traffic stop, Linhardt said.
Sgt. Robert Dosh spotted the southbound Honda traveling approximately 100 mph in a 45 mph zone near Mile Marker 77. Sgt. Dosh turned on his lights and sirens and got behind the Honda. Sgt. Dosh observed the Honda passing other motorists via the on-coming traffic lane, Linhardt said.
