Teen driving 132 mph told officers he was going to a job interview, police say
A Connecticut man who was caught by police driving at 132 miles per hour told officials his speeding was not due to a joyride, but instead, because he was running late to a job interview, police said. In a press release from the Connecticut State Police, officials said 19-year-old Azmir Djurkovic was caught speeding while state troopers were conducting 'motor vehicle enforcement' in the town of Cromwell. During their shift, police saw a Mercedes E300 traveling "faster than the flow of traffic," the release said. A speed radar detected the car going at 132 miles per hour, more than two times the Connecticut default speed limit on interstates, which is 65 miles per hour. But the driver was not caught immediately. Police said when a trooper tried to execute a traffic stop with lights and sirens, the driver sped off and made 'unsafe lane changes.' Instead of chasing after Djurkovic, state police contacted the registered owner of the vehicle, who said Djurkovic was driving at the time. "Troopers obtained a phone number for Djurkovic, who admitted to driving and stated he did not stop because he was late for a job interview," state police said. Djurkovic turned himself in to officials, where he was arrested and now faces multiple charges, including reckless driving, engaging police in a pursuit and reckless endangerment. According to the press release, Djurkovic was released on a $2,500 bond and set to make his next court appearance on June 17. USA TODAY was not able to immediately find an attorney representing Djurkovic at this time. Fernando Cervantes Jr. is a trending news reporter for USA TODAY.
