Sherman County’s Justice of the Peace is mandating in-person hearings for all citations of vehicles identified as exceeding the speed limit by over 30 miles per hour. In a statement, Justice of the Peace Shandie Johnson says she has seen an increase in those kind of citations over the last few months. If an individual is found guilty of being 30 miles per hour over the posted speed limit within Sherman County and has received at least one prior conviction for speeding in the prior 12 months, then a 30-day suspension of driving privileges will be issued, along with a fine and a mandate to attend a traffic safety education course. Johnson adds there has been an increase in citations for speeds over 100 miles per hour on Interstate 84 and Highway 97, and those will now be subject to up to a 90 day suspension based on the individual’s driving record.
