Speeder clocked at 142 mph in Putnam County
March 28, 2007
BREWSTER, N.Y. (AP) -- A man driving on an interstate highway apparently needed to get somewhere fast - really fast - when he was clocked by troopers doing 142 mph in a 64-mph zone.
Michael Maciejewski, 24, of Litchfield, Conn., was ticketed for a traffic violation for speeding southbound in Brewster on Interstate 684, Sgt. Joseph Malorgio of the state police said on Tuesday.
Troopers using a high-tech radar that can read license plates 1,000 feet away thought they might have a high speed chase, state police said. But the 2001 Acura pulled over as soon as the patrol car turned on its lights, they said.
Maciejewski has an April 24th court date, Malorgorio said. Maciejewski could not be reached for comment Wednesday morning because his telephone number was unlisted.
