REDUCED | DRAG RACING – (DMC No. 9889) (West McDowell Justice Court No. TR2010-141173): Mr. A. was a minor league baseball player who was previously in the major leagues. He had purchased a new Camaro SS and was driving on the freeway at a high rate of speed. Another vehicle sped up to catch up with him and an officer thought that two were drag racing. Mr. A. was pulled over and charged with drag racing. We were able to convince the prosecutor that he was unaware of the other vehicle’s presence and was merely speeding. If he were convicted of the drag racing charge, he would have lost his license and would have done jail time.
