ONE PERSON: DRIVING 50 MPH OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. ANOTHER: DRUGS, DUI, DEPORTATION.
UPDATE March 14, 2026: We have now learned that these were two separate incidents that happened to occur in a short span of time. Matthew Uva was NOT RACING. He was, however, driving quite fast. Prosecutors dropped the charge in exchange for Matthew taking a one day class that focuses on the hazards of excessive speeding.
Anderson Galvez-Arreaga was accused of fleeing police in a separate incident. In addition to drug and other charges, he was determined to be in the United States illegally. ICE placed a detainer on him and he is expected to be turned over to immigration officials for deportation.
