When a trooper pulled him over, police paperwork states he not only noticed an open container of alcohol but two small children in the back.
"It’s very concerning. We don’t usually see those high speeds. It's dangerous for the driver, other passengers and people on the road," Pennsylvania State Trooper Dan Kesten said.
Channel 11's Amy Marcinkiewicz did some digging into court documents, and learned this is the fourth time Heigley has been charged with DUI in the past seven months.
