"The driver pushed the clutch in, revving its engine, which is an example of enticing a race."Deputies said they chased Rauscher down at speeds topping 100 mph, Local 6 News reported. He was caught and charged with reckless driving.After his capture, Rauscher allegedly told officers that he had no idea that they were police and that the Mustangs fooled him, police told Local 6 News.Seminole County just received two Mustang units, replacing Crown Victorias. The cars have been on Central Florida roads for only about three days in July."The most (tickets) I have written in one month was 120, so we're three days into the month and we have a combined total of 100," Seminole County sheriff's deputy Sean Niles said.Watch Local 6 News for more on this story.
