Speakout

Speeding on North Ingram

This Speakout goes to Chief (James) McMillen and Sikeston DPS. I’m calling referring to North Ingram. The speeders on this street are out of control. I can make a movie and show it to you if you don’t believe me, or I have security cameras now in my house aimed at the street. I have been complaining about this problem now for 23 years and still nothing is getting done. My wife just about got hit yesterday morning backing out of our own driveway. I’m sure Chief McMillen knows who I am when he reads this comment or complaint. We need to do something about these speeders on North Ingram. it’s out of control. One of these kids getting on and off the school buses in the morning is gonna get killed. It’s crazy. Just the other day, two diesel pickup trucks was drag racing, side by side, and I guarantee they were both going 90 miles an hour. Come on, Chief McMillen, we need to do something now about North Ingram. Please. Today. Thank you.
