The sheriff was behind the wheel of the Huracan, speeding alongside Romano in a Corvette. The video shows both cars doing over 70 mph in a 50 zone, more than enough to get a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/news\/controversial-new-driving-law-threatens-speeders-with-imprisonment\">speeding fine<\/a>. Romano shouts, \u201cYeah, juice that motherf*cker!\u201d and Marceno responds in kind, dropping a gear and letting the naturally aspirated V10 sing. Honestly, who can be blame him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why It&#8217;s A Big Deal<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" data-dominant-color=\"4e5a64\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" style=\"--dominant-color: #4e5a64;\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"519\" height=\"285\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-91-2.webp?resize=519%2C285&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56645 not-transparent\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-91-2.webp?w=519&amp;ssl=1 519w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lakelandgazette.info\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Screenshot-91-2.webp?resize=300%2C165&amp;ssl=1 300w\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A sheriff racing down a public road in a Lamborghini might sound like something out of a Fast &amp; Furious sequel, but this story isn\u2019t all fun and games. Just last month, Marceno&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=23947081468257857\">posted on Facebook<\/a>&nbsp;that he has &#8220;zero tolerance for street racing&#8221; after his deputies arrested a teenager for doing just that. He emphasized his dislike toward it by saying \u201cDriving at excessive speeds and putting yourself, your passengers, and others on the road at risk is an incredibly selfish decision. My deputies will continue to patrol the roads of Lee County, ensuring drivers make smart choices or they will face the consequences.\u201d If that sounds hypocritical, it\u2019s because it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Happens Now?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So far, nothing. The Florida Trident reached out to the sheriff\u2019s office but got no response. Ken Romano also declined to comment. Look, we get it. Car people like speed. But when the guy who preaches \u201czero tolerance\u201d gets caught doing exactly what he condemns, it hits different. Whether Sheriff Marceno faces any consequences remains to be seen. But one thing\u2019s clear: the badge doesn\u2019t make you untouchable. The law applies to everyone \u2014 even those who enforce it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you&#8217;ll admit it or not, everyone\u2019s broken the speed limit at least once.
