Vermont State Police say they cited the same driver twice in a five-mile stretch for driving at least 90 mph.
Police say they first stopped 30-year-old Benny Wercberger of Monroe, New York, on Interstate 91 northbound in Bradford at 9:30 Thursday morning — after clocking him driving 97 mph in a 65 mph zone. He was issued a ticket and was allowed to continue on his way.
Five miles farther north, police say, they clocked Wercberger and his 2015 Mercedes SUV traveling 90 mph. Besides another speeding ticket, they charged him with negligent operation of a vehicle.
Wercberger is due to appear in Orange County Court on Aug. 26. He did not immediately return a call left at his home seeking comment.
