(La Porte County, IN) - A very fast moving driver passing a La Porte County Sheriff’s deputy from behind is now facing drunk driving allegations.

 

Police said David Guyton, 67, passed the officer from behind Thursday night on U.S. 421 just south of Michigan City.

 

According to police, it wasn’t until the officer reached 116 miles per hour that he started gaining ground on the suspect, who pulled over near Interstate 94.

 

Guyton told the officer he was heading back to home to Michigan City after visiting family in Indianapolis.

 

His alleged blood alcohol level was more than two times the legal limit.
