A dedicated Love Island superfan found herself in trouble with the law after police caught her traveling at 100 miles per hour in a desperate race to get home and watch the latest episode of the popular reality show.
Incident Details
Highway patrol troopers in Arizona, United States, were left astonished when they learned the reason behind the unidentified woman's excessive speed. She was clocked going 108 mph in a 65 mph zone on a state highway in Pinal County on June 9, according to the Highway Patrol.
The Arizona Department of Safety Highway Patrol shared the bizarre reason for her speed in its "Speeding Saturday" roundup on social media over the weekend. The Facebook post read: "The driver stated she was trying to get home fast to be able to watch the reality TV show Love Island."
Legal Consequences
It appears she likely missed the episode, as the social media post revealed she was arrested and booked for criminal speed and reckless driving. State troopers also sent her vehicle to "car jail" for 20 days.
Another Speeding Incident
That wasn't the only unusual case in the same Saturday speeding roundup. Another unidentified driver was caught speeding on his way to church. An Arizona state trooper pulled him over on the Maricopa Casa Grande Highway, where he was going 93 mph in a 50 mph zone last Wednesday, racing to get to a sermon on time.
The social media post added: "The driver stated he was on his way from church and had known nothing about criminal speed." He was also arrested and booked for criminal speed and reckless driving, and his car was given to the front seat passenger.
