Unfortunately in our town late model Chargers, Challengers, and 300s are favorites of young males in the inner city.
If someone goes flying by you on the highway at a very unsafe speed, it is likely going to be one of those 3--or a lifted pickup truck.
They also get stolen a lot.
"Simmons says four years ago, his department tackled a speeding problem at the intersection by putting more officers in the area.
"Some people just like to drive fast," said Chief Simmons.
He said he's particularly seen an increasing number of drivers in Dodge Challengers intentionally speed down streets.
"For some reason, I've seen them run from me. I'm always seeing police chasing them. I've seen Highway Patrol chase them. I've seen city police chase them. We get behind them, they don't pull over," Chief Simmons said."
