JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Jacksonville sheriff\u2019s Officer Ernesto Valerio was on the prowl Friday night in search of street racers and super speeders. In his unmarked car on the Buckman Bridge, a Dodge Challenger was directly in front of him as it drove next to a red Corvette.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook at these guys blocking everything,\u201d Valerio says as the Corvette driver holds up his hand out of the window and then gives the signal initiating a race with the Challenger.<\/p>\n
The two cars take off. \u201cOh, and they\u2019re racing now, right in front of me,\u201d Valerio says in the video JSO released on social media<\/a> Tuesday. The cars reached speeds of 120 miles per hour, police said.<\/p>\n Valerio takes off after the cars and the video later shows him arresting the driver of the Challenger, which appeared to lose the race against the Corvette.<\/p>\n Arrested was 22-year-old Quashay Frazier Jr. charged with super speeding and racing.<\/p>\n Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said the arrest was one of eight it made Friday and Saturday as it targeted street racers and super speeders.<\/p>\n \u201cDriving this recklessly puts lives at risk. Plain and simple,\u201d JSO\u2019s social media post states. <\/p>\n >>> STREAM ACTION NEWS JAX LIVE <<<<\/a><\/p>\n [DOWNLOAD: Free Action News Jax app for alerts as news breaks<\/a>]<\/p>\n [SIGN UP: Action News Jax Daily Headlines Newsletter<\/a>] <\/p>\n Click here<\/a> to download the free Action News Jax news and weather apps, click here<\/a> to download the Action News Jax Now app for your smart TV and click here<\/a> to stream Action News Jax live.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"JACKSONVILLE, Fla. \u2014 Jacksonville sheriff\u2019s Officer Ernesto Valerio was on the prowl Friday night in search of street…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375748,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[116,118,117,634],"class_list":["post-375747","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-local"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375747","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375747"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375747\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375748"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375747"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375747"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375747"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
