A man who officers are calling a "serial speeder" has been arrested in Peoria.

Department of Public Safety officers arrested 29-year old Elvis Amir Saloum at a shopping center near his home on Thursday.
He will be charged with 11 criminal speeding violations along with one count of reckless driving.

Saloum, a real estate agent, owns 5 homes throughout the Phoenix area.

DPS investigators had been looking for him since July. Beginning in January of this year, Saloum has been caught multiple times by photo enforcement cameras on State Route 51, Interstate 17, the Loop 101, and Interstate 10 driving his 1998 Lexus at speeds ranging from 86 miles per hour to 104 miles per hour.

In addition, on 55 separate occasions, Saloum has been caught on photo enforcement cameras violating the posted speed limit.

Saloum has been booked into the 4th Avenue Jail in downtown Phoenix.
