Two women were arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated after El Paso police officers said they caught them allegedly driving more than 100 mph in two unrelated incidents Friday morning.

Lenzy Juarez, 31, was arrested at about 1:35 a.m. when officers with the El Paso Police Department’s DWI Task Force allegedly found her driving a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro at a speed in excess of 100 mph, officials said.

Juarez allegedly ran a red light at the intersection of Yandel Drive and Santa Fe Street, then drove onto Interstate 10 West, officials said.

She was pulled over by officers on the side of the interstate near the University of Texas at El Paso, officials said.

Juarez, who is from Santa Teresa, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. She was booked into the El Paso County Jail on a bond of $600.

A couple of hours later, Jody Traversy, 19, was pulled over by a DWI task force officer after he saw her allegedly driving a 2015 Dodge Dart at about 125 miles per hour on Interstate 10 East near Airway Boulevard, officials said.

The incident occurred at about 3:35 a.m., officials said.

Officers determined that Traversy was drunk and arrested her on suspicion of driving while intoxicated with a blood alcohol level equal to or greater than .15, officials said.

She also had three outstanding traffic warrants, officials said.

Traversy was booked into El Paso County Jail on a bond of $750.
