“I’ve been doing this for 38 years and this is the first I’ve ever seen in that time frame,” said Chief Jon Bokovitz with Bainbridge Township Police.

Bokovitz said two speeding tickets were issued to the same guy from the same officer along the same highway.

“He was doing a food delivery. When he came back, he was picking up another delivery,” said Bokovitz.

Police say 28-year-old Darrick Stewart, of Cleveland, was cited and released. He now faces exaggerated speeding charges for going 30 miles per hour over the speed limit.

“Folks that do those deliveries really should be safer. They are driving through communities.  They are looking for addresses so they might not be paying attention as much and when you
add the speed factor, it’s that much worse,” said Bokovitz.
