A Texas man was driving through Colorado recently and drove from Colorado to Denver in only 20 minutes, which is approximately 70 miles.  A warrant has now been issued for his arrest! 

HE PRETTY MUCH OUTED HIMSELF: 

According to KHOU.COM, A man who uploaded evidence of his street crimes on YouTube is now wanted by Colorado State Patrol a few months after a viral video showed him speeding between Denver and Colorado Springs on his motorcycle. The video titled  “From Colorado Springs to Denver in 20 Minutes,” has since been removed from YouTube. However, the clip has been shared on several other social media channels and is now in the hands of Colorado prosecutors.

In the video, you can see Rendon Dietzmann's speedometer displaying excessive speeds, sometimes reaching up to 173 mph as he darts between vehicles northbound on Interstate 25. This happened sometime last year.

Because of this video, Rendon has a warrant with seven counts:

  • Menacing – placed another person in fear of imminent serious bodily injury
  • Engaged in a speed contest
  • Reckless endangerment
  • Reckless driving
  • Speeding 40 mph over prima facie limit
  • Engaged in exhibition of speed
  • Vehicle had no number plates attached
