Myles Garrett Cited at 94 mph on Interstate 71, His Ninth Speeding Ticket Since 2017
myles garrett was pulled over and cited for driving 94 mph in a 70-mph zone on Interstate 71 around 1: 35 a. m. ET on Feb. 21, the latest entry in a string of speeding citations that stretches back to his rookie year in 2017.
Myles Garrett stopped on Interstate 71 at 1: 35 a. m.
The Wayne County Sheriff's Office said the stop in Congress Township, Ohio, recorded Garrett driving 24 mph over the posted 70-mph limit in his Porsche at about 1: 35 a. m. ET on Feb. 21. The citation notes the deputy described him as "kind and cooperative, " and Garrett has the option of appearing in court on March 10 or paying a fine of more than $100.
A pattern of high-speed stops and a 2022 rollover
Since entering the NFL in 2017, Garrett has accumulated nine speeding tickets. In 2021 he was pulled over twice in a single 24-hour span on Interstate 71 in Medina County, clocked at 120 mph and 105 mph, and resolved those citations by paying fines of $267 and $287. On Aug. 9 he was cited for driving 100 mph in a 60-mph zone in Strongsville, Ohio, a citation that carried a $250 fine and came the morning after the Browns returned from a preseason road game against the Carolina Panthers. In September 2022 he flipped his Porsche, and the Ohio State Highway Patrol cited him for driving 65 mph in a 45-mph zone for what the crash report called an "unsafe speed for the type of roadway he was on. " Garrett sustained a shoulder sprain and a strained bicep in that rollover and missed Cleveland's Week 4 game against the Atlanta Falcons before returning the following week.
How the citations intersect with his career
myles garrett has completed nine seasons with the Browns and is among the NFL's highest-decorated defensive players: he is a seven-time All-Pro, set the single-season sack record with 23 during the 2025 campaign, and earned Defensive Player of the Year honors for the second time. He also signed a four-year, $160 million extension with the Browns prior to the 2025 season.
The next confirmed step in the latest citation is the court option: Garrett may appear in court on March 10 or pay the fine noted on the citation. That scheduled court option remains the immediate, concrete milestone tied to the Feb. 21 stop on Interstate 71.
