An Illinois man was arrested Sunday in Cedar Lake for driving 153 mph in a 60-mph zone.

At 5:30 p.m., a Griffith officer in full uniform in his squad car was on his way to work near 155th Avenue and U.S. Highway 41 when he observed a 2006 Pontiac GTO traveling at a high rate of speed in the opposite direction, police said.

Asked why he was driving so fast, Kemp reportedly responded, “I just got it out of the shop.”

Burning out the gunk, eh?
