The driver of a Nissan sports car, who did tire-smoking burnouts on the Chesapeake Bay during weekend traffic, has been arrested and charged with dozens of traffic charges, and four counts of disorderly conduct.

Maryland Transportation Authority Police say they were notified Sunday, Sept. 27, of the dangerous driving display on the westbound span of the Bay Bridge in Queen Anne’s County, after video was posted on social media.

The suspected driver, 22-year-old Gary Ray Montague, Jr., of Dumfries, Virginia, is charged with four misdemeanor counts, including three of disturbing the peace and one of disorderly conduct. He was also charged with 23 traffic violations.

Online court records show Montague had been convicted of misdemeanor Driving While Intoxicated, this past August, in Spotsylvania County, Virginia. Records show he was required to use an ignition interlock. ... Montague was also charged with reckless driving and other driving counts a month earlier, in neighboring Prince William County.
