A wealthy Florida teenager, who boasted about speeding down highways on TikTok, was charged on Tuesday with six counts of vehicular manslaughter after police say he killed six friends when he crashed his BMW into their SUV at 151 mph.
The Palm Beach County Sherriff's Office (PBSO) said Noah Galle, 18, of Wellington, admitted to speeding 'above 120 mph' during the January 27 crash in Delray Beach that killed Mirlaine Julceus, 45, Filaine Dieu, 46, Vanice Percina, 29, Remize Michel, 53, and Marie Louis as they drove home from work at the Pero Family Farms.
The PBSO said a search warrant of Galle's social media accounts revealed videos and photos of the teen 'driving at extremely high rates of speed,' even asking followers to guess his speed to win $25, WPBF reported.
Those Instagram and TikTok profiles have since been taken down.
Deputies told the local station that one video on social media showed Galle speeding at 181 mph on the I-95. Galle had previously been stopped by police for driving 180 mph in Palm Beach County, according to court records.
Noah Galle, 18, of Wellington, Florida, was charged on Tuesday with six counts of vehicular manslaughter for a car crash that killed six friends on January 27. A judge set his bail to $300,000, with the teen, who posted videos of him speeding on TikTok, facing 15 years in prison for each count

Police said Galle was driving at 151 mph on January 27 when the then-17-year-old slammed his $100,000 BMW into the victims, causing the SUV to roll over and send three of the passengers flying from the car.
Five of the victims died at the scene, while the sixth died on the way to hospital. Galle sustained only minor injuries.
The teen was arrested on April 6 after months of investigation and returned to court on Tuesday, where he was charged with six counts of vehicular manslaughter, each carrying a 15 year prison sentence.
A judge set his bail to $300,000, which was $50,000 for each of the counts. Despite being held in a juvenile detention center, Galle will be tried in adult court.
State Attorney Dave Aronberg said in a statement: 'Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the six innocent victims in this tragedy.'
'We will seek justice by vigorously prosecuting this case.'

SharePalm Beach Sheriff Ric Bradshaw did not say why the investigation had taken so long when police finally arrested Galle on earlier this month despite saying that the department had expedited the toxicology report because police believed the teen to have been intoxicated at the time of the crash.
'This process takes time and we can't go fast,' Bradshaw said. 'We've only got one opportunity here to get this right. If we make a mistake and these people walk, it's back on us and it's not what the family and the community expect.'
Marc Freeman, a spokesman for the State Attorney's Office, told the Sun Sentinel that it typically takes months to finalize crash reports, get toxicology reports and review the black boxes of both cars before any decision is made about specific charges and whether to charge a juvenile driver as an adult.
Galle's attorney, Liz Parker, has said the teen had been on psychiatric medication since he was 12, without specifying what he was treated for, and that the medication may have contributed to the accident.
In a bid to get him out of the juvenile detention center, Parker told the court that Galle has been having suicidal thoughts since the arrest and needed to be at home under supervision.
The judge denied the request and said the juvenile detention center was well-equipped to meet Galle's needs.
Lyndie Louis, Marie Louis' daughter, told the court on Tuesday that her family demands justice and that Galle remain in a juvenile detention center while awaiting trial

The arrest comes days after Julceus' husband, Robens innocent, filed a lawsuit against the teen's parents, Craig and Helena Galle, claiming they were responsible for their son's 'negligent acts.'
The lawsuit states that Julceus, who was driving the SUV, was the primary provider of her family, and that her ten-year-old daughter was 'wholly dependent upon [Julceus'] services and support' and has incurred 'mental pain and suffering' as a result of her death, the Sentinel reported.
It also states that Galle 'negligently operated his motor vehicle by failing to observe traffic conditions,' drove excessively fast and failed to yield the right of way, leading to the crash.
Julceus niece, Clerna Marc told the court on Tuesday that her family demands justice.
'This situation has essentially broken his family,' Marc said of her uncle, Robens. 'Mirlaine has left behind a 10-year-old daughter who has to be essentially raised without his mother. He just wants to have justice for this situation.'
Lyndie Louis, Marie Louis' daughter, also spoke to the court on Tuesday and echoed her own family's grief over the lost of the matriarch.
'This has been a very, very hard situation for my whole family, my sister and I and my daughter,' said Lyndie said. 'She's 8. Every time she comes home she's been asking, 'Why can't grandma come back, Mom?'
My mom was very loving and devoted woman. I think that the defendant should be in jail and not at home,' she added as she asked the judge to reject the defense motion that Galle be released.
'We can't see our families now and why should he? This was a very reckless crime and not just for my mom — everybody's lives. We need justice.'
