A driver weaving and speeding on I-84 was arrested early Wednesday for driving under the influence, State Police said.
Right after midnight on Wednesday morning state police observed a grey 2004 Saab 9 series weaving in and out of lanes while going westbound on 1-84. When a patrolling officer tried to pursue the Saab, the driver accelerated to over 85 miles per hour, according to the arrest report.
The officer saw the car get off at exit 36.
At around 1:40 am, the officer saw the Saab with the same license plate on I-84 going eastbound by exit 46. Again, the Saab sped up and had to swerve to avoid an accident on Oak Street, State Police said.
The driver, Elias Guzman, 24, of East Hartford, faces 12 different charges, including reckless driving over 85 mph, disobeying signal of an officer, operating under the influence and failure to drive in proper lane on the highway.
His presumed passenger, Ivelisse Alvarado-Perez, 29, of Hartford is accused of interfering with an officer.
Guzman was unable to post his $5,000 bond and is expected to appear in court on Feb. 4.
