Brevard County, FL – A driver was arrested after allegedly traveling 101 mph on Interstate 95, prompting safety concerns.
According to the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred this morning when deputies conducted a traffic stop on I-95 after clocking a vehicle at 101 miles per hour. The driver was identified as Gregory Kemp.
Deputies said Kemp allegedly told the officer he was a “professional driver” and claimed he was speeding due to needing to use the restroom. Authorities stated that explanation did not prevent enforcement action, and Kemp was taken into custody.
According to the sheriff’s office, Kemp also has a history of traffic-related offenses, including allegedly driving with a suspended license. Officials noted the arrest adds to what they described as a pattern of violations.
The stop temporarily disrupted traffic flow along the interstate and highlighted ongoing enforcement efforts targeting excessive speeding, which officials say poses significant risks to other drivers.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey emphasized that high-speed driving endangers lives and will continue to be strictly enforced across Brevard County roadways.
The case remains under review, and formal charges are pending.
The incident may be especially relevant to commuters and delivery drivers who rely on Interstate 95 daily.
