Myles Garrett Cited at 94 mph in Ohio After Officer Downgrades Speed, Fine Paid

The Feb. 21 stop is at least his ninth in Northeast Ohio since 2017, highlighting a persistent pattern.

Overview

  • Court and sheriff’s records show Garrett was pulled over around 1:35 a.m. on Feb. 21 on I-71 in Congress Township, Wayne County, and cited for 94 mph in a 70.
  • Bodycam footage indicates the officer said he had been over 100 mph but wrote the ticket for 94 to avoid a mandatory court appearance, noting he was kind and cooperative.
  • Records reflect he has already paid a $157 fine, removing the need to appear at the March 10 arraignment date listed on the citation.
  • The citation notes no drugs or alcohol were involved, and the incident adds to a history that includes an August 2025 ticket for 100 in a 60 and a 2022 rollover crash that caused minor injuries.
  • The Browns have not issued a public statement; Garrett is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year after a record 23-sack season under a four-year, $160 million extension.
