A PCSO deputy was conducting traffic enforcement on US 27 near the Peace Creek RV Resort, east of Winter Haven, when he noticed a pair of vehicles coming in his direction at a very high rate of speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The speed limit in that location is 60 mph, but both vehicles were going over 100 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A red sedan and a black sedan were side-by-side, obviously trying to outdo one another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deputy activated his red & blues and pulled over a red 2020 Toyota Corolla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The driver of the Corolla was identified as 19-year old Mariah Bateman of Dundee. And next to Mariah was a 14-year old passenger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officially, Mariah’s speed topped-out at 108 mph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mariah Bateman was arrested by the Polk County Sheriff\u2019s Office and taken to Grady Judd’s Bed & Breakfast. She was charged with Street Racing and Negligent Child Abuse without Bodily Harm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
