Mesa County, Colo. -- On Sunday, September 1, 2013, a Mesa County Sheriff's Office Traffic Safety Deputy was on traffic patrol near F Road when he witnessed a speeding vehicle. At 6:48 p.m., the deputy was able to use his laser and determine the drivers speed was 81 mph in a 45 mph speed zone. The vehicle ultimately stopped and the deputy was able to make contact with the driver and only occupant of the vehicle. The driver was identified as 39-year-old, Grand Junction resident, Brandon Gonzales.
Gonzales was arrested without incident and taken to the Mesa County Detention Facility on the following charges:
- Driving while under the influence of alcohol/drugs
