Driver who was clocked at 111 mph accepts nolo plea; judge orders probation and defensive-driving requirement
Summary
Jade Armani Dobbs entered a no-contest plea after being recorded at 111 mph in a 65 mph zone. The court ordered 12 months' probation, a $500 fine (approximately $737.50 with surcharges) and completion of a defensive-driving course, with probation to determine acceptable documentation.
Jade Armani Dobbs appeared before Judge Tammy Long Hayward on an August 6 arraignment and entered a nolo contendere (no contest) plea to an offense in which she was recorded driving 111 miles per hour in a 65 mph zone.
The state's factual basis stated the officer recorded Dobbs at "111 miles per hour in a 65 mile per hour zone" using a LIDAR device; the prosecutor recommended probation, a $500 fine and a defensive driving requirement. The judge accepted the nolo plea and imposed 12 months' probation, a $500 fine (totaling $737.50 with surcharges), and required a Department of Driver Services-approved defensive driving or driver-improvement course. The judge explained probation would determine whether an already-completed course would satisfy the requirement.
Judge Hayward emphasized the safety risks of very high speeds in court remarks: "At 111 miles an hour, you don't have the skill or ability. ... That's for not NASCAR and Formula 1 drivers," urging Dobbs to review crash footage and comply with probation conditions. Probation staff will provide next-step instructions during a breakout-room meeting.
