CATAWBA COUNTY, N.C. -
Shocking viewer video shows a state trooper speeding down Highway 321 in Catawba County, going the wrong way into oncoming traffic.
The Highway Patrol announced Tuesday that Trooper T.J. Williamson, who was behind the wheel, submitted his resignation effective immediately.
The witness who shot the video told Channel 9 that the trooper was heading to a major street-racing bust.
Channel 9 first reported about the street racing arrests at 11 p.m. Sunday.
Williamson got off the River Road exit, crossed the bridge and then started heading south in the northbound lanes.
Channel 9 reporter Dave Faherty spoke to the woman who recorded the video, and she is outraged by the dangerous maneuver.
