Illinois Car Salesman arrested for 160+ test drive

The Illinois State Police finally caught up with a local car salesman after he and a customer took a Dodge Charger Hellcat our for a test drive. ISP Trooper Scott Smith stated that the Dodge Challenger passed him on Highway 45 in Muddy going approximately 148 MPH. When he attempted to catch up in his own Police Dodge Charger, apparently the “race” was on! Troopers say they terminated the pursuit after reaching speeds over 160 MPH and they were able to get a license plate for local Dodge dealership, Jim Hayes Inc., which is located in Harrisburg.
Troopers were waiting for the salesman, identified as Chris Street of Harrisburg, IL 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 from #yourkarguy.
