County Trunk 17 near State Highway 97
Officer sits at the grain elevator and as you pass the stock yards he will pull out and clock you as you are accelarating when the speed limit goes up, one mile out of town you will be clocked and told that speed is what you were going as you went by him. This officer will hurt someone some day. Yells, searches vehicle and messes with his gun and is very shaky. Beware and be warned! Go around if at all possible.
