Man arrested after two traffic stops for speeding

A man from Houston, Texas man was taken to jail Wednesday night after being stopped for speeding twice in a very short time period.

Deputy Orlando Alvarez was at the 104 mile marker when he spotted a white Chevrolet Corvette southbound traveling at 81 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone just before 11 p.m. He pulled the car over in a nearby parking lot. The driver was identified as Steven Kubas. Kubas was argumentative during the stop, denying that he was speeding. He was written a speeding citation and told the deputy he would see him in court.

Kubas, obviously agitated, sped out of the parking lot, running a stop sign and cutting off an oncoming motorcycle.

Deputy Alvarez followed, and saw the Corvette increasing its speed. He measured the vehicle’s speed at 115 miles per hour in a 45 mile per hour zone. The deputy radioed ahead for other deputies to watch for the vehicle. He then turned on his emergency lights in an attempt to stop it.

Kubas pulled over at the 102 mile marker. Kubas told the deputy he was speeding because he was angry about getting a ticket. While Deputy Alvarez, the driver of the motorcycle Kubas cut off stopped. He expressed his concern for how dangerous Kubas had been driving and said he had to take evasive actions on his motorcycle to avoid a crash.

Kubas was arrested and charged with reckless driving. In the car, deputies found a small amount of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. They also found a 9mm handgun. The Corvette was towed from the scene and Kubas was taken to jail.
