LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — One man’s high-speed joy ride came to a screeching halt this week, after a Michigan State Police trooper pulled him over and ticketed him for going 70 mph over the speed limit.

After pulling the 24-year-old Grand Ledge man over in Eaton Rapids Twp. Thursday evening, MSP cited him for driving 125 mph in a 55-mph zone, and also for Reckless Driving.
