Judge revokes licenses, seizes vehicles in street racing cases

Street racing cost 18 young men their licenses today. A judge also ordered all but four of them to forfeit their vehicles, which had been souped up for speed.

The men, one as young as 16 but most in their 20s, either pleaded guilty or were found guilty by Guilford County District Court Judge Tom Jarrell.

Most received suspended sentences, probation and fines that ranged from $500 to $10,000 for one man.

The charges stemmed from a Highway Patrol investigation late last year in Guilford and Forsyth counties. In all, troopers seized 34 vehicles and filed 188 charges, Lt. Keith Stone said.

Friday’s marathon court session, which lasted past 6 p.m., covered most of Guilford’s cases.
