The interaction between the deputy and the elderly driver was captured on body camera footage.<\/p>

When the deputy addressed Bosworth’s alleged street racing, Bosworth responded, “No, that guy, he swerved at me.” Bosworth continued to explain he was driving 110 mph “only because he swerved at me. I wanted to get away from him before we caused a problem.” \u00a0<\/p>

Bosworth went on to deny he was street racing with the other driver, saying he was “out having a little ride in my favorite car.”\u00a0<\/p>

Bosworth complied with the deputy’s commands to get out of the car, and he was placed in handcuffs. He was arrested for excessive speeding and street racing. \u00a0<\/p>
