GP Police Cited Motorists for Speeding on 7th Street after Separate Traffic Stops
Grants Pass Police cited two motorists for speeding in the north part of the city after separate -- but possibly related -- traffic stops last night.
According to GPPD, the first incident occurred on Monday at 9:30 p.m. when officers pulled over the male driver of a Lexus near the corner of NE 7th Street and Midland Avenue.
Police had responded to a report of a Lexus and Ford pickup racing on 7th Street. Officers cited the driver of the Lexus for Speeding, but he stated he was not the driver during the racing incident. He'll have the chance to explain that to a judge.
About 30 minutes later, police pulled over a vehicle driven by a male subject who was observed doing 70 miles per hour in a 35 mile-per-hour speed zone. Officers said it was 31 degrees with multiple vehicles around at the time.
That driver was cited for Speed Racing and Careless Driving. He was counseled about his driving behavior and he denied being the driver in the earlier incident despite displaying similar behavior. He'll also get the chance to make an argument before a judge.
