The CSPD arrest report also says the officer estimated the car going at least 50 miles per hour. 20 year old Frederick Hall III, who the officer wrote is a frequent visitor to Northgate, spent a short time in jail before posting bond totaling $4,000 dollars on charges of reckless driving and driving with an invalid license with prior convictions.
