Jahlil Okafor’s joy ride on the Ben Franklin Bridge in Philadelphia was a costly one.

Last week, Philly.com reported that a Camden County judge ordered the Chicago native and 76ers rookie to pay a $439 fine for driving 108 MPH in a 45 MPH zone last October. Now TMZ has acquired the dash-cam footage from the incident.

Watch Okafor’s white Mercedes-Maybach go flying over the bridge and slow down only when the police officer finally catches up.

Via TMZ:

The Whitney Young grad was lucky a fine was the worst consequence to come from his escapade.

Last year, Okafor was also involved in a pair of fights and accused of using a fake ID. He was suspended two games by the 76ers in December for his off-the-court antics.
