Onate Valencia, 28, got his Corvette into the triple-digit speeds as he bombed down Garrisonville Road in the early hours of Saturday, June 4, the Stafford County Sheriff's Office said. He flashed past a sheriff's deputy just after 2:30 a.m. near North Stafford High School. 

Deputies said that Valencia slurred his words and smelled like alcohol when they pulled him over. Officials charged him with DUI, reckless driving, obstruction, and refusal, the Sheriff's Office said. He was being held at the Rappahannock Regional Jail on a $5,000 bond.

Officials said this is his second DUI in five years.
