Bridgeport Man Clocked At 125 MPH Before DUI Arrest In Milford: CT State Police

BRIDGEPORT, CT — A 23-year-old Bridgeport man was arrested on charges of driving under the influence and reckless driving early Sunday after Connecticut State Police said a trooper clocked him traveling at 125 mph on I-95 southbound in Milford.

Jose Gonzalez was spotted at about 2:55 a.m. driving a gray Honda Civic near exit 40 in Milford at the high rate of speed before he was pulled over near exit 38, according to state police. The trooper was following the Honda, and used the state police cruiser's speedometer to observe the speed, which at times exceeded 125 mph.

Once safely stopped, the trooper began speaking with Gonzalez, and "observed clear signs of impairment, to include red glossy eyes and the odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from his person."

Gonzalez failed Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, and was placed under arrest.

"Chemical testing later conducted at Troop G showed that Gonzalez had a blood alcohol content nearly twice the legal limit," state police officials said in a release.

Gonzalez was released after posting a $1,000 bond, and is scheduled to appear at Milford Superior Court on Aug. 28.
