His speed to fame was short lived. Beau Alan Rogel of Rankin County, Mississippi says he’s an internet celebrity. He has the habit of live-streaming his experiences on YouTube but this time round he has found himself dealing with the law, not for the speed but for completely different reasons.
The most recent stream of him hitting 180 mph (289 kmph) on a public road in his 2017 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 has got himself into trouble with the law. Rogel was instantly pulled up by the cops and while the cops let him go at the time of pulling him over, he was later arrested on multiple charges.
Rogel claims that a troll watching the livestream called up the cops which got him arrested. The video shows him racing throughout Rankin and Madison counties in Mississippi. The video also shows off the odometer hitting speeds of 180 mph while Rogel is stating the speeds out loud which could substantiate the claim that he was indeed showing off.
