Retirement looks different for everyone.

An 85-year-old Florida man was arrested earlier this week after being accused of street racing a Corvette in Lake County.

In bodycam footage obtained by News 6 Orlando and published on Wednesday, June 15, William Bosworth told officers — while holding a cigarillo in his mouth — he was "having a little ride in my favorite car." Cops clocked him going 110 mph in a 45 mph zone near midnight on June 12.

When a deputy questioned Bosworth about the alleged street racing, he claimed the driver of the Corvette was at fault.

"No, that guy, he swerved at me," he said.

Bosworth went on to explain that he was driving at such a high speed "only because he swerved at me. I wanted to get away from him before we caused a problem."

He eventually complied with demands to exit the vehicle where he was placed in handcuffs and arrested. Bosworth was charged with excessive speeding and street racing.

While Bosworth was taken into custody, he has since bonded out. His next court date is set for July 7.
