Jose A. Soto-Mendenez, 50, is facing charges of DUI, battery on an officer, resisting arrest with violence and marijuana possession. After his arrest, he told deputies the marijuana was for his personal use and that he smoked weed every half-hour, the arrest report said.

A deputy patrolling the area said he caught Soto-Mendenez’s SUV traveling at 73 mph and then 80 mph in a 45-mph zone. As the SUV made a left turn, Mendenez tossed what appeared to be a can of beer out the passenger window, the report said.
