SALT LAKE CITY — A man was arrested by Utah Highway Patrol after officials said he was caught going 112 miles per hour while on Interstate 15 in Salt Lake County. Troopers said once arrested, the suspect claimed arresting him would "teach him nothing."
Gaige Ryan Hughes, 20, was arrested on Sunday and faces charges of reckless driving, speed contest on a highway, reckless endangerment, and possession of tobacco.
According to court documents, at around 9 p.m. Sunday, the trooper spotted a dark colored sedan and motorcycle traveling together at a high rate of speed on I-15 near 4800 South. The trooper reported that the vehicles were weaving in and out of traffic, and at one point were caught on radar going 112 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone.
Once a traffic stop was initiated, Hughes was detained and reportedly stated that he drives like that all the time and that "arresting me teaches me nothing."
Three other people were also in the vehicle, including an elderly grandmother and a 16-year-old female.
