Arizona's Director of Public Safety has shared a video of himself being pulled over for speeding at 90mph - before being let go with a warning after telling the deputy who he was.
Col. Frank Milstead was stopped by a Yavapai County deputy on October 12 on Interstate 17 in Arizona where the speed limit is 75mph.
In the deputy's body camera footage, the officer tells Milstead that he was 'weaving through traffic' and not using his blinkers.
Milstead calmly provides his identification and paperwork, while his passenger and fiancée, Angela Harrolle, says they were driving to Flagstaff for memorial service for late husband, who was a DPS trooper.
He was stopped near Lake Montezuma northeast of Camp Verde.

ShareMilstead, who has held his role since 2015, was not in uniform at the time and he appeared to be driving his personal vehicle.
Milstead shared the footage along with a mea culpa in a series of tweets Wednesday.
'Unquestionably I was speeding and the deputy’s decision to stop me was valid,' Milstead wrote.
'As they spoke, I realized I had not identified myself as a law enforcement officer, as I have been trained to do since the academy,' he added.
But as the officer is walking back to his vehicle with the registration and driver's license, he is summoned back by Milstead.
Milstead posted to Twitter body cam video from his traffic stop for speeding in October. He also tweeted his admission and apology, 'Unquestionably I was speeding and the deputy’s decision to stop me was valid'
'I don't know if that will help,' Milstead says, as he is seen passing his department identification.
'He's the colonel,' Harolle adds. 'He runs DPS.'
'Oh!' the deputy says after inspecting what was handed to him. 'Pleasure to meet you.'
'I am deeply regretful. Irrespective of my position, my adherence to all laws is imperative and on the day in question I was in violation,' Milstead continued on Twitter. 'This is certainly a regrettable event for me and one for which I will reflect and learn.'

Once the deputy gives him a pass, Milstead tells him that Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher is 'one of my favorite guys.'
'I was sitting here thinking, "Well, one of his guys is about to write me a ticket," Milstead says to the deputy in the video. 'I'm a dumbass. I was going too fast. I got a ticket.'
Milstead said he appreciated getting the break from the officer and apologized for bothering him.
As they officially introduce themselves, the deputy says he was just 'educating' Milstead.
Arizona Governor Doug Ducey said Milstead is 'one of the good guys,' and 'even good guys make mistakes.'
At an event in Scottsdale Thursday with U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Ducey added: 'Let those without speeding sin cast the first stone here.'
