LAKEWOOD COP STOPS FELON SPEEDING AT 115 MPH, CARRYING ILLEGAL GUN

A police officer stopped an auto rocketing at 115 mph in Lakewood and discovered the driver was a felon illegally possessing a gun and ammunition, officials disclosed Monday.
The suburban speed demon was traveling in a 65-mph zone on West 6th Avenue near Indiana Street on Jan. 30. His driver's license had been revoked - and he had racked up a record of seven prior suspensions. "While the speed alone was life-threatening, the investigation revealed a much deeper threat to our community's safety," officials said.
