South Carolina Sr. Trooper J.D. McGaha, a Trooper since July 2005, has been removed from duty after he was issued a speeding citation on March 28, 2009, by a fellow SC State Trooper, for driving an unmarked patrol car 130 mph in a 70 mph zone.
According to the article, the SC Public Safety Department made the announcement of McGaha’s suspension after they discovered that his license to drive was suspended as a result of his failing to pay vehicle taxes.
McGaha was en route to the Carolina Cup Steeplechase races in Camden, SC where he was scheduled to direct traffic when he was stopped on Interstate 20 in Kershaw County. When asked why he was driving at such a high rate of speed McGaha said he was running late.
