Florida Man Arrested After Driving 110 MPH to Catch Cheating Girlfriend

Q: Did the allegedly cheating girlfriend actually show up to bail out the Florida man arrested for driving 110 mph to catch her?

No. There is no public evidence that the girlfriend actually showed up to bail him out. The reporting and sheriff’s office materials only show that Gavin Ames, after being arrested in DeSoto County for allegedly driving 110 mph in a 60 mph zone, said on body camera that he was “going to get bailed out by her.” That appears to have been his own remark in the patrol car, not a confirmed outcome. The available coverage from the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office and news outlets focuses on the arrest, the bodycam video, and Florida’s new “super speeder” law. None of the cited reports says who, if anyone, later posted bail for Ames. So the most accurate answer is that his comment about the girlfriend bailing him out was a joke or prediction caught on video, but there has been no confirmed report that she actually did.

Gavin Ames was jailed under Florida's super speeder law after a deputy clocked him at 110 mph in a 60 mph zone just before 1 a.m. on Aug. 1 in DeSoto County.
Asked why he was speeding, Ames told the deputy he was heading to his girlfriend's house to catch her cheating, according to sheriff's office video and local media.
Florida law allows arrest when a driver exceeds the limit by more than 50 mph, and the deputy handcuffed Ames at the roadside.
From the back of the patrol car, Ames said he was shocked that the girlfriend he was trying to confront would now have to bail him out.
