Trooper J.D. McGaha Ticketed for Driving 130mph

COLUMBIA, S.C.

A South Carolina trooper is back on the job after being suspended three days when he was ticketed for driving 130 mph in a 70 mph zone.

Public Safety director Mark Keel says Senior Trooper J.D. McGaha was ticketed and immediately suspended without pay on Saturday in Kershaw County after his unmarked car was stopped on Interstate 20 by another trooper.

Keel told The State newspaper that McGaha is assigned in Horry County and was to direct traffic at the Carolina Cup in Camden and was running late.

There was no telephone listing for McGaha in Horry County. Keel says McGaha faces a $355 fine and six points against his license if he's convicted.

McGaha has been with the Highway Patrol since 2005.
