Thanks for the ticket, officer

EDITOR:

To the Youngstown policeman on radar patrol Thursday morning on 680 south.

Thank you sir. You are doing a great job. We needed a policeman right then and you were there.

I had just narrowly avoided being side-swiped by a large cream-colored Pontiac sedan. They were speeding and way over the white line on my side. It scared me! I thought “there’s an accident waiting to happen.”

One minute later (7:50 a.m.), you had him pulled over for speeding. I firmly believe you stopped a future accident from happening by slowing this guy down.
