James Rodriguez has been tearing through the streets, riding too fast, too furious. After making his way to practice at a steady pace of 125mph in his fancy-pants Audi, Rodriguez was pulled over by undercover cops for speeding, according to Diario AS. Apparently, the Spanish fuzz doesn't like you rolling at that kind of pace.

Rodriguez refused to stop, clearing the gates into the facility, where the undercover cops were stopped before entering. The police reportedly said in front of the media, "We were chasing him at 200km/h on the M-40 [motorway]!" Finally, the police were let into the facilities, and now Rodriguez faces potential charges for failing to stop after a direct order from the police, and for speeding. After a year of legal infractions from Real Madrid (cough* Benzema *cough), Rodriguez is here to kick off the first criminal activities of the New Year. Feliz año nuevo!
