BREWSTER, N.Y. (AP) – A motorcyclist clocked by state police driving 144 mph in a 55 mph zone in Putnam County faces having his license suspended.

The state police in Brewster said the motorcycle driven by 21-year-old David Puchalski, of Carmel, was stopped at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at I-84 in the town of Southeast.

The driver was clocked going 89 mph over the posted speed limit.

The driver was freed pending a July 8th appearance in Southeast Court.

State Police Sgt. Ted Daley said that speeding more than 40 mph over the posted speed limit results in 11 points being charged against the driver’s license, which automatically results in a suspension.
