Evansville, Ind. — A 23-year-old Evansville man was arrested over the weekend after being caught speeding at more than 100 miles per hour on Interstate 69 in Gibson County.
According to local authorities, deputies observed Kevin Rivera traveling at an excessive speed down the highway. After pulling him over and conducting a brief investigation, deputies determined Rivera was driving recklessly. He was subsequently arrested and taken to the Gibson County Jail.
Rivera faces charges of reckless driving, a serious offense due to the potential danger posed by such high speeds. Additionally, authorities discovered that Rivera had never received a driver’s license, leading to an additional charge of driving without a valid license.
The arrest serves as a reminder of the importance of road safety and the dangers of speeding, particularly at speeds that far exceed the legal limit. Authorities have not released further details regarding Rivera’s court appearance or if he has any prior offenses.
