ISP trooper nabs two more drivers in excess of 100 mph on I-70
PUTNAMVILLE -- Drivers are apparently making a habit of exceeding 100 mph on Interstate 70 in Putnam County. And a veteran Indiana State Police trooper is making a habit of catching them.
Monday afternoon, for the second time in 10 days, speeding drivers turning I-70 into a triple-digit race track in western Putnam County ended up being nabbed by Master Trooper Don Farris for driving in excess of 100 mph.
In Monday's incident, a pair of Ohio drivers were stopped for doing 104 mph in a 70-mph zone at the 34-mile marker, seven miles west of Cloverdale.
Just before 1 p.m. Monday, Trooper Farris issued reckless driving citations to two male drivers, one driving a Ford Mustang GT and the other at the wheel of a Toyota Camry.
Their speed, however, still falls shy of the audacious 108 mph posted by an 18-year-old Terre Haute female nabbed by Trooper Farris on March 21 at the 37-mile marker in the westbound lanes, four miles west of Cloverdale.
