A Henrico County teenager was arrested over the weekend after hitting nearly 140 mph on I-64 West.

According to the New Kent County Sheriff's Office, on Sunday night, 19-year-old Christopher James William Carroll drove past a deputy stationed near the West Point exit on I-64 at 137 mph.

The deputy said Carroll began driving "erratically" as they attempted to catch up with him. Then, he exited the highway at the Providence Forge exit and started heading north on N. Courthouse Road at "high speeds." That deputy lost sight of him, and another deputy in the area began pursuing him.
