Jackson County, IN — A trooper from the Indiana State Police-Versailles Post stopped a vehicle for traveling 109 mph on I-65 in northern Jackson County Wednesday morning.
The driver was arrested after the investigation determined he was intoxicated with a BAC of three times the legal limit while having a young child in the car.
The investigation by Trooper Korry Clark began at approximately 10:00 am when he stopped a 2020 Toyota passenger car on I-65 Northbound near the Jackson/Bartholomew County line for traveling well over the posted 70 mph speed limit.
