Florida Man Arrested at local Nissan dealership after 180+ MPH chase

The Florida Highway Patrol finally caught up with a local car salesman after he and a customer took a Nissan 370Z Nismo out for a test drive. FHP Trooper Mark Jones stated that the Nissan sports car passed him on I-4 in Deltona going approximately 148 MPH. When he attempted to catch up in his Police Dodge Charger, apparently the “race” was on! Troopers say they terminated the pursuit after reaching speeds over 150 MPH and they were able to get a license plate for local Nissan Dealership, DeLand Nissan, which is located in S Woodland Blvd.
Troopers were waiting for the salesman, identified as John Powell of Port Orange, FL and questioned the customer, who was only a passenger in the ordeal. The salesman was arrested on reckless driving charges and was bailed out by the customer a few hours later. There was no word on whether or not the customer bought the high priced, high performance car.
