An 18-year-old and a 21-year-old are free on bond following their arrests last weekend after Flowery Branch Police stopped two vehicles allegedly racing on I-985.
Officers were conducting routine traffic enforcement southbound Saturday near mile marker 12 when they observed two vehicles that appeared to be racing, according to a news release which was issued Thursday. Using radar equipment, officers reportedly measured both vehicles traveling at 97 mph before initiating a traffic stop.
The drivers were identified as William Caceres Huertas, 21, of Gainesville, and Leonardo Riera Garcia, 18, of Alto. Both were arrested and charged with racing on highways or streets, reckless driving, and speeding.
