A Mississippi man was arrested after he posted a YouTube video of himself driving across in excess of 180 miles per hour.

Beau Alan Rogel, 38, who police said is a 'self-proclaimed YouTube celebrity', has previously posted videos of himself violating numerous traffic laws.

The latest footage he posted shows him counting up as he increases speed, at one point to 180 miles per hour, while he drives across Spillway Road from Rankin County to Madison County.

Beau Alan Rogel, 38, (left) was arrested after posting a video of himself driving in excess of 180 miles per hour. His wife Christina, (right), was arrested for disorderly conduct after she attempted to block police from arresting Beau Rogel

In a previous video posted by Rogel, he is stopped by Rankin County Deputies after driving recklessly on Old Hwy 471.

He can be seen and heard on the video denying the actions he had just recorded.

YouTube is not the first means of social media used by Rogel to incriminate himself, according to police.

Investigators were provided Facebook screen shots of Rogel possessing numerous weapons, Rankin County Sherriff's Office said in a statement on Tuesday.

In some of the threads, he is trying to sell or trade weapons and in others he is simply displaying the weapons.

The live video and photos posted to social media led to a search warrant Monday for his house and vehicle, the news statement said. Rogel’s wife, Christina Ann Rogel, and children were there, but he was not.

A statement said: 'Based on the photos posted by ROGEL of his weapon possession and his video of himself operating his vehicle in such a reckless manner, a search warrant was issued for his residence and vehicle.

'When deputies arrived at his Rankin County home to execute the search warrant, Rogel was not home, but his wife and child were present.'

His wife, Christina, 35, was also arrested on the scene for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.

This was after she attempted to block police from executing a search warrant and lied about Rogel’s whereabouts in an attempt to help him avoid arrest.

While on scene executing the search warrant, Rogel drove up and was arrested without incident.

The 2017 Ford Mustang he was driving during the YouTube video was also seized in order for investigators to download data from the vehicle’s onboard computer.

Well driving at night at 180mph is pretty crazy. Some deer crosses the road and you are dead.

But taking a Camaro or Mustang up to high speeds isn’t unusual. It’s just how sure are you that you won’t get airborne.
 
.
Driving 90 mph in daytime is very dangerous, it is exponentially more dangerous driving 90 mph at night on the same street. This guy was doing 180 mph, there is no known scale in existence to measure his stupidity, therefore I say lock him up and throw away the key !
 
.
ive only done 155mph ever, and that was for a (few) seconds. 180 is stupidity

but youtube.. wow everything is being streamed these days

Also there was this thing on snapchat where it would show you what speed you are going. hint hint

Sounds like an tuned Mustang to me .... Edit, it says it's a Mustang, just saw that, lol. But, it is definitely an E85 tune with lots of power mods besides a cam.

I've driven 110 mph. Its not as fast as you think. You just need one hand on the hand brakes on the sharps highway turns (pulling 10 secs before approach).

Actually in many parts of the US, it is not uncommon to go that fast. I was in Wyoming two years ago for the solar eclipse, and I hit 100. Although, you wouldn't have been able to tell given that there were few points of reference in those parts.

if he has so much desire to drive at such speed he should join legal car race competition

Ive heard if you’re in Texas, 85 mph is the Minimum. You’d get honked and cut off every second if your too slow.
