Court records show Samuel Rosen and another man in his 20s, identified as Jacob Birsinger, were arrested around 10:45 a.m. on Jan. 6. According to those records, the two were driving luxury sports cars - a red Ferrari and a yellow Porsche - when they were pulled over by a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper.
Investigators allege the two men reached speeds of up to 150 miles per hour over the course of about a mile on Highway 59. The trooper pulled them over near Dunlavy. Both were arrested and charged with misdemeanor street racing. They were released on personal recognizance bonds.
Just months before the arrest, Constable Rosen released a public service announcement warning that street racing is illegal. He looked into the camera and warned those who broke the law that street racing can result in jail time. Through a spokesperson, Rosen told ABC13 that his son maintains he was not racing and plans to fight the charge. The constable added that he remains opposed to street racing.
Rosen and Birsinger are members of the Freedom Supercars car club. The West Side Luxury Car Club confirmed the Ferrari and Porsche involved belong to the group. The club said both vehicles were returned the same day the arrest occurred.
ABC13 reached out to the men's attorney but did not receive a response. The station also requested booking photos from DPS. DPS public information officers told ABC 13 that while the arresting trooper had no issues releasing the booking photos, a DPS supervisor decided not to release the mugshots.
The men have their next court hearing in mid-February.
