“Well, you caught me today.”
That was the response from a local driver after getting busted for going 20 over in a school zone. His excuse? He was “daydreaming.”
With school back in full swing, we want to remind drivers to get with the program. Be part of the solution and watch out for children and parents as they find their footing in the new school year.
We’re Dead Serious about traffic safety. Are you?
On Aug. 15, 2025, at approximately 4:30 p.m., a man boarded a bus in the area of 95 Ave and 165 Street. He reportedly pulled out a knife and began yelling and waving it in the air, at times pointing the knife at the people on the fully loaded bus. The man sat down and appeared to sit in silence while continuing to hold the knife. The passengers on the bus reportedly feared for their safety. Police arrived in the area quickly and were able to arrest the man without incident. Charges are pending.
