KEY LARGO, Fla. – A Cutler Bay man faced six felony charges in the Florida Keys Sunday after authorities said he fled sheriff’s deputies after an attempted traffic stop, reaching speeds of 160 mph.

According to a Monroe County Sheriff’s Office arrest report, a sergeant first saw Christopher Johann Petersen, 21, speeding north on the Overseas Highway, near mile marker 82 in Islamorada at around 11 a.m.

The report states that same sergeant had initially tried to stop a motorcyclist accompanying Peterson who was also riding recklessly.

Multiple deputies tried stopping Petersen at both mile marker 95 and near John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park in Key Largo to no avail, the report states.
