Rochester, MN (KROC AM News) -  An Austin man who was caught speeding over 90 mph in Olmsted County had a young child in the back seat who was not in a child seat.

In fact, the state trooper who made the traffic stop noted the 4-year-old “was not even belted.”

The trooper clocked the car at 93 mph in a 70 mph zone on I-90 around 7:00 am on Oct. 5th.

The trooper reported after the car stopped, the male driver “jumped into the back seat.” The man’s wife then got into the front seat.

The trooper reported the male driver initially “lied about his identity” but then his wife “came clean and told the truth.

That’s when the trooper learned the man had a revoked driver's license for a DUI case.

The man was identified as 40-year-old Andreas Andon. He has been charged with speeding, driving after revocation, and three other counts.
