Police in Colorado identify person suspected of bragging on social media about racing a car going 100+ mph

PUEBLO, Colo. (KKTV) - Police in Pueblo say a social media post bragging about racing helped in a case where someone is suspected of driving more than 100 miles per hour in a street race.

An officer clocked a 29-year-old at 112 mph as the suspect was driving down Northern Avenue on Saturday. The officer was able to track the suspect down. He could lose his vehicle for up to six months.

Police then shared updated information on Wednesday in a tweet about a second suspect bragging on social media:
