A release from Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie says the first stop occurred Thursday, October 15, when 45-year-old Lauren King, of Lawrence, was cited for driving 102 miles per hour in a 65-mile-per-hour zone on U.S. Highway 73 near Sheridan Road.

Two more drivers were cited Friday. 42-year-old Joseph Fuimaono, of Leavenworth, was stopped for allegedly driving 88 miles per hour on U.S. 73 between Rooks Road and 258th Road.

Also Friday, a 17-year-old Topeka girl was cited for driving 88 miles per hour on U.S. Highway 59, south of 214th Road.

The fourth stop came Saturday, when 25-year-old Savannah Stuebs, of Atchison, was cited for driving 86 miles per hour in a 65-mile-per-hour zone. She was also cited for driving while suspended.

All four drivers were cited for speeding at least 21 miles per hour over the posted limit.
