In early August 2026, a Florida man named Gavin Ames was arrested by the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office after being clocked driving 110 mph in a 60 mph zone. Ames reportedly told deputies he was speeding to catch his girlfriend cheating.

Due to Florida’s “super speeder” law, which allows for immediate arrest when a driver exceeds the speed limit by more than 50 mph, Ames was taken into custody.
