Cops: Drunken driver did 105 mph on Meadowbrook

An Amityville man driving 105 mph Saturday on the Meadowbrook State Parkway faces speeding and drunken driving charges, State Police said.

Hugh Arthur, 42, of 2 Columbia Ave., was speeding in a 55 mph zone driving south on the parkway, just north of the Southern State Parkway, at about 2:40 a.m., police said.

After stopping Arthur's black Mercedes, troopers noticed him with glassy, bloodshot eyes and a strong odor of alcohol. He failed a sobriety test, troopers said, providing a breath-analyzer sample of .11 percent.

He is charged with driving while intoxicated and speeding and is scheduled to be arraigned at First District Court in Hempstead.
