SALT LAKE CITY — A Utah man who claimed he was on his way to Missouri to kill a former U.S. senator was arrested after UHP troopers caught him driving up to 130 mph in the snow while impaired.

George William Stahl, 36, of Cottonwood Heights, was booked into the Summit County Jail early Wednesday for investigation of making a threat of terrorism, failing to stop at the command of police, reckless driving, speeding, DUI and drug possession.

About 12:45 a.m. Wednesday, Stahl was spotted by a Utah Highway Patrol trooper traveling 115 mph on I-80 in Summit County, according to a police affidavit.

“I activated my emergency lights immediately and the vehicle appeared to accelerate faster and pull away from me. I caught up to the vehicle who was still traveling over 100 mph and the vehicle accelerated again and pulled away,” the affidavit states.

Despite light snow falling and slick roads, the vehicle reached speeds of at least 130 mph, according to the affidavit.

After another trooper spiked the vehicle’s tires, Stahl was arrested.

“Stahl was belligerent and appeared heavily intoxicated. He smelled of an alcoholic beverage and his eyes were glassy and bloodshot. There was an empty 12 pack of Budweiser beer in his vehicle as well as a partially consumed other 12 pack. Stahl stated that he was on Adderall and LSD and beer,” the affidavit states.

Stahl was taken to the North Summit Fire Station to be medically evaluated and then to the Summit County Jail and continued to be belligerent while being transported, according to the affidavit.

“He stated that he was on his way to Missouri to kill (former U.S. Sen. Claire McCaskill) if she wasn’t dead already. Stahl also stated that he hit the spikes going 135 mph,” the affidavit states. “Stahl made several real threats to Missouri Sen. Claire McCaskill. He stated that he was on his way to Missouri to kill her several times.”

8. Only silver lining I see is that at least the beer was union made.

How many nutcases out there are being activated by trump, Fox and the Republican party?

9. "He stated that he was on his way to Missouri to kill her several times."

I think they meant he stated several times he was on his way to MO to kill her.

If he was going to kill her several times, that would be a little redundant.

11. If the Republican Party claims to be the Law & Order Party to stabilize things to normal...

Then why in the Hell have there now been decades of crazed doped up and/or drunk REPUBLICANS or their followers always being caught in scandals and arrests???

And when you throw in Republican Party's actual record of their alleged goals and achievements compared to the Democratic Party's record, they Democratic Party destroys the Republican Party's claims and records on every damn issue.. even abortion rates in the country. Because the Republicans only know how to lie, cheat, steal, embezzle, defraud, destabilize, destroy, wreck, and leave a wasteland whatever they touch... It keeps repeating itself, but America just refuses to acknowledge and accept it.
