SARASOTA, Fla. — Sarasota police are reminding people to never get behind the wheel drunk after they arrested a driver going more than 50 mph over the speed limit.

Last week, a night shift officer stopped a driver going 102 mph in a 45-mph zone on U.S. 41 near Webber Street, the Sarasota Police Department wrote in a tweet.

The agency said the driver has a blood alcohol concentration of .171 and was arrested for DUI.

"Thankfully, no one was hurt, but this serves as a reminder to NEVER drink and drive.  Always #DriveSoberOrGetPulledOver," the tweet read.
