Police also say the driver was impaired and blew over the legal limit for blood-alcohol concentration.
In the tweet, there was a photo showing a dark-coloured Audi being towed and a radar reader showing 235 km/h.
The driver was charged with stunt driving, dangerous driving, impaired driving and having a blood-alcohol level of over 80.
The driver also has a 90-day licence suspension and the vehicle was impounded for 14 days.
