Florida man with suspended license drives 100 mph with 3 kids in the back to get girlfriend to Taco Bell job interview: police

He did it for his belle.

A Florida man was arrested after speeding 100 mph while driving his girlfriend to a job interview at Taco Bell on Tuesday, according to arrest documents.

Jevon Pierre Jackson, 22, was driving along DeGroodt Road near Falls Church Road in Palm Springs  — a 40-mph zone — when he began swerving in and out of traffic at high speeds in a black Mercedes, according to an affidavit obtained by WKMG-TV.

Jackson flew past an unmarked police vehicle and into a no-passing zone where he “split the lane,” causing a white pickup truck to swerve and narrowly miss a head-on collision with the Mercedes, police wrote.

When Palm Springs police pulled him over, they found three young children sitting in the back of the car.

Jackson, who was driving with a suspended license, told police he was speeding to get his girlfriend to a job interview at Taco Bell, according to the affidavit.

He has a history of traffic violations, police noted.
