## 119 on the interstate
A North Dakota Highway Patrol trooper clocked a car doing 119 mph on Interstate 29 near mile marker 129, south of Grand Forks.
## Saturday afternoon stop
The stop happened on Saturday, September 12. The Highway Patrol laid out the details in a Facebook post.
## The driver has a name
Troopers identified him as Idrissa Boima, 18, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, more than 140 miles north of where he was pulled over.
## Arrested, not just ticketed
Boima was arrested on a Class B misdemeanor charge of reckless driving, a step beyond the citation most speeders get.
## The paperwork stacked up
He was also cited for possession of marijuana paraphernalia and hit with a $215 speeding fine carrying 15 license points.
## Where the line sits
The Highway Patrol says traffic volume, road conditions, and passengers in the car decide whether a stop ends in a ticket or an arrest.

> can be the difference between a speeding ticket and an arrest for reckless driving
## Key takeaway

Speed alone gets you a ticket. Speed plus traffic, bad roads, or passengers in the car can get you arrested.
