A sheriff’s deputy observed Soliman speeding, making unsafe lane changes and following vehicles too closely, along I-95 and Florida-528, the sheriff’s office said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post, the sheriff’s office said Soliman told deputies that he was trying to make it to the bathroom at Buc-ee’s. The nearest Buc-ee’s location was roughly 61 miles away in Daytona Beach.<\/p>\n
“The bathrooms at Buc-ee\u2019s are exceptionally clean, however you should probably be a little closer than 60 miles from your restroom destination when using it as an excuse for speeding,” the sheriff’s office said in a Facebook post.\u00a0<\/p>\n
List of charges <\/p>\n
Soliman was charged with reckless driving and operating a vehicle at 100 mph or more, court records show. He was booked into the Brevard County Jail Complex without incident.\u00a0<\/p>\n
According to court records, Soliman’s bond was set at $500.<\/p>\n
