Driver Arrested In a Hurry Home for Bedtime

A 23-year-old man was arrested at about 1:50am Thursday morning for reckless driving near the site of a recent fatal pedestrian crash. Officer Curtis Volling saw a 2011 Silver Kia Rio turn from Rodd Field road onto McArdle without stopping at the stop sign at that intersection. The Rio travelled wide into oncoming traffic and then accelerated at a speed that was possibly twice the posted speed limit on McArdle as the vehicle travelled to Ennis Joslin. The area of McArdle between Rodd Field and Ennis Joslin is a two lane road with no sidewalks.

Officer Volling conducted a traffic stop and the driver, Brian Venable (7/3/1988) said he had to get up in the morning to go to work se he was in a hurry. Brian Venable was arrested for reckless driving.
