Speeding Task Force Nets Results In Yavapai County

A multi-agency law enforcement task force focused on speeders along Highway 260 between Cottonwood and Camp Verde was successful last week. On Wednesday, officers pulled over 36 vehicles between the hours of 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. The stops resulted in 20 speeding tickets and three additional citations unrelated to speed. The highest speed recorded for the detail was 83 miles-per-hour. This week the task force will be deployed in the north and eastern portions of Yavapai County with the goal of keeping roads safe and collision free.
