The sheriff’s office said he was traveling eastbound near Jetport Drive around 10:40 a.m. Monday in a red Ford Mustang with New York plates registered to his mother. His speed was confirmed by radar, deputies said.
What we don’t know:
Authorities have not said why Giua was in Central Florida or where he was headed at the time of the stop.
The backstory:
Florida’s new “super speeder” law took effect July 1, targeting drivers who exceed posted speed limits by more than 50 mph. The law allows deputies to make arrests in cases previously handled by citations alone. Giua’s arrest marks one of the early cases under the tougher statute.
