'Belltown Hellcat' appears in court as city weighs a new means of stopping him

The"Belltown Hellcat" driver appeared in court in Seattle on Tuesday, where he was penalized over $83,000. Meanwhile, the Seattle City Council — prompted most likely by his antics — is considering giving police a new tool to write $500 street-racing tickets.

Earlier this year, 20-year-old Miles Hudson was charged with driving his Hellcat at speeds of more than 100 miles per hour through 25-mph zones in a dense city neighborhood, to which he pleaded not guilty. Residents of the Belltown neighborhood in particular have complained about the excessive noise, but the speed is the alarming part. He has documented his antics on Instagram.

Hudson appeared in court wearing all black and with his face covered in a black ski mask and dark glasses. The prosecution asked the judge to order him to reveal himself, but the judge allowed him to keep the mask on.
