INCIDENT 1
On February 22, 2025, at 4:05 pm, Florida Highway Patrol State Troopers responded to a report of stopped vehicles / traffic congestion and a helicopter flying at a low attitude (to gain footage) on northbound Interstate 75 (Alligator Alley), in the area of the 51-mile marker, Collier County. Five dark colored SUVS were parked side by side, occupying the travel lanes and shoulders. Several individuals were standing outside their vehicles, while a bright green sports car (Porsche GT3 911) performed aggressive circular spins (aka donuts). This action left a thick cloud of smoke, leaving a visible haze in the area. While in response to the above-described incident, troopers observed more than 25 high performance vehicles driving north at a high rate of speed.
State Troopers initiated a traffic stop on the bright green Porsche GT3 911 within the parking lot of the 63-mile marker recreation area. It matched the description of the above-mentioned vehicle. Troopers located and identified Scott Reback who identified himself as a passenger in the bright green Porsche at the time of the street takeover. Reback was placed under arrest for 316.191.2 Riding a Passenger in race Competition… a person may not… (c) Knowingly ride as a passenger in any such race, drag race, street takeover, stunt driving, competition, contest, test, or exhibition.
At this time, the identity of the bright green Porsche Driver, described only as “the camera guy”, remains unknown.
