Description
A deputy sheriff has resigned after being arrested for driving more than 100 mph near Lakeland, the Polk County Sheriff's Office explains in a news release.
According to a statement from the sheriff's office, deputies clocked 22-year-old Jakob Kite driving on U.S. Highway 98 South at 105 mph in a 60-mph speed zone. Other deputies reportedly clocked Kite's car, a Subaru Impreza, going even faster as they tried to catch up to it, ultimately reaching 130 mph in a 45-mph zone.
Deputies say they tried to get Kite to pull over using their emergency lights and siren, but he wouldn't stop and ran through a stop sign as he veered onto the Highway 540A westbound lane, damaging the Impreza's front tires as he hit a concrete median.
