Scott Wolf had a run-in with police for driving nearly double the speed limit months before his bitter divorce erupted, Us Weekly has learned.
According to court documents obtained by Us, Scott, 57, was pulled over by a Utah Highway Patrol officer at 7:24 p.m. on May 11.
The former Party of Five star was driving a 2019 white Audi Q7, according to the citation, which listed Scott’s speed as 128 miles per hour in a 65 miles per hour zone. The officer noted he was driving 63 miles over the limit.
The report noted Scott did not cause an accident. The Daily Mail, who broke the news, reported that Scott told the officer that he was speeding because “he was in a hurry because his child needed to use the bathroom.”
On May 28, a hearing was held in San Juan County, Utah. Scott was not present but entered a plea of guilty to the Class B misdemeanor charge of reckless driving.

The order noted that Kelley allegedly tried to remove the kids she shares with Scott from the country. The judge also said he considered Kelley’s behavior that led to her being detained by law enforcement and placed on an involuntary psychiatric commitment.
The court awarded Scott temporary sole physical and legal custody of their three children. The judge said that Kelley would not have any contact with Scott or their kids until a future court hearing.
The actor was also awarded exclusive use of their Utah home. On social media, Kelley said she has been staying with family and friends.
