CT man allegedly went more than 100 mph to avoid traffic stop on I-384
A man was arrested on Saturday after state police said he went more than 100 mph to avoid a traffic stop on Interstate 384 in East Hartford. The driver was first spotted by a trooper at 12:09 a.m. on Interstate 84 East where he was allegedly seen failing to stay in one lane in an Infiniti Sedan, according to Connecticut State Police. The trooper followed the driver off of Exit 56 and onto I-384 East where he allegedly could be seen drifting from its lane and crossing from Exit 1 back to the right lane of the highway. State police said the trooper flipped on their emergency lights and siren to pull the driver over, but he allegedly did not stop and accelerated to speeds of more than 100 mph. The trooper checked the vehicle's registration and found that the license plate matched the Infiniti before disengaging in the stop attempt, according to state police. The trooper then went to the registered owner's residence in East Hartford and spotted the vehicle, which was allegedly still warm to the touch. State police said 21-year-old Eric Resto agreed to speak with the trooper and admitted to being the driver of the Infiniti. He said he was scared and took off because he did not know why he was being pulled over, according to state police. Resto was arrested on charges of reckless driving, disobeying signal of an officer, engaging police in a pursuit, failure to maintain proper lane on a limited access highway and interfering with an officer/resisting. He was released on a $5,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Manchester Superior Court on May 16.
