State police say CT man passed trooper at 101 mph before refusing to pull over

A Windsor man allegedly went more than 100 mph on Interstate 91 in Wethersfield early Friday when he passed a trooper before refusing to stop when state police tried to pull him over.

The trooper spotted the driver around 2:15 a.m. on I-91 North in the area of Exit 25 while conducting traffic enforcement as part of the Fatal Accident Mitigation Initiative, according to

.

State police alleged that the motorist, driving a silver Toyota Camry, was initially behind the trooper before passing the cruiser going 101 mph in a 55 mph zone. The trooper then caught up to the Camry and flipped on the cruiser’s lights and siren to initiate a stop.

State police said the driver allegedly refused to stop before the traffic stop was abandoned due to safety concerns. The vehicle was last seen exiting the highway using the Exit 29 off-ramp and heading toward the Charter Oak Bridge.

The trooper used the vehicle’s license plate information to find the registered owner’s address. After going to the residence, the trooper spoke to a family member of the vehicle’s owner who said they no longer lived there, according to state police.

A trooper then went to the East Hartford residence where the owner reportedly resides and found the Toyota parked near the home, state police said. While speaking to the car’s owner, state police said a man approached the door and admitted to driving the vehicle earlier. He was identified as 31-year-old Javier Enrique Guadalupe of Windsor, state police said.

Guadalupe told the trooper he did not stop because he had never been pulled over before and was frightened by the tractor-trailers on the highway, according to state police. The trooper later learned his driver’s license was suspended.

Guadalupe was arrested and taken to Troop H in Hartford. He faces charges of ******** operation of a motor vehicle while under suspension, speeding, reckless driving and disobeying signal of an officer. He was released on a $10,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned on Dec. 27 in New Britain Superior Court.
