HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. - A St. Petersburg man was taken to jail after leading law enforcement on a high-speed chase on Interstate 275 in Hillsborough County, troopers said.
Tayvion Robinson, 22, was arrested Monday on charges of reckless driving, fleeing to elude at a high speed and for not having a valid driver's license, an arrest affidavit stated.
At around 11:20 a.m., Robinson was spotted driving a black Dodge Charger northbound on I-275 at more than 110 mph in a posted 60 mph zone west of SR-688, FHP said.
Robinson continued to speed, cutting in and out of traffic, officials said.

A trooper tried to perform a traffic stop, but the vehicle continued to accelerate and at one point, exceeded 147 mph.
The car eventually exited the interstate, ran a red light, and collided with two vehicles before losing control and recovering on S Loins Avenue, troopers said.
FHP performed a successful PIT maneuver on the car, and that's when Robinson and two passengers ran off.
Law enforcement set up a perimeter and Robinson was ultimately found and brought back to the scene.
