Police Crack Down On Speeding Tulsa Drivers

Tulsa Police say they're cracking down on speeding drivers along part of Memorial near the Broken Arrow Expressway.

And they're coming off a very busy weekend in the area.

Officers say they wrote 11 citations, impounded two cars, and made six misdemeanor arrests for alcohol, trespassing, and driving related complaints.

Tulsa Police say they're primarily targeting reckless drivers, trespassing and street racing, which have been a problem on this part Memorial for a long time.

Officers say they plan to closely monitor this area over the next few months, so you'll want to be careful to avoid getting stopped.
