Benton County is a common location for speeding citations. With long, open stretches of roadway and frequently changing speed limits as drivers pass through city limits, law enforcement conducts a high volume of traffic stops in this county. Additionally, Benton County utilizes an aircraft speed enforcement zone, allowing aircraft pilots to coordinate with ground troopers to identify and stop vehicles for speeding violations.
Due to the number of judges and frequent turnover within the prosecuting attorney's office, our approach in this court is continually evolving. We are often successful in obtaining dismissals or negotiating amendments to more favorable outcomes, such as non-moving violations, helping minimize the impact on our clients' driving records.
