Trooper Klun activated his radar to verify the vehicle’s speed and received a reading of 101 mph in a 70 mph zone. 

Trooper Klun was able to turn around and catch up to the vehicle, conducting a traffic stop near the 88 mm. 

While speaking with the driver, who was identified as Brittany L. Busko, 21, of South Bend, Indiana, Trooper Klun detected a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage coming from Busko. Busko submitted to several field sobriety tests in which she failed. 

Busko was transported to the Greene County Sheriff’s Department where she voluntarily submitted to a certified breath test.  Busko’s certified test showed that she had a BAC of .18%, which is twice over the state legal limit. 

Busko was then processed into the Greene County Jail.
