SUSPECT CHARGED AFTER VEHICLE LANDS ON ROOF OF LOCAL BUSINESS
On 11/25/15, at approximately 7:57 AM, officers with the Benton Police Department responded to the area of Military Road near the I-30 overpass on report of a reckless vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed. Prior to their arrival, information was received that a vehicle had left the roadway on Hwy 5 N.


The Benton Police Department is joining in a national effort to reach out to all Thanksgiving travelers with one important message: buckle up. Historically, Thanksgiving is the busiest travel time of the year, putting more people on the road, and unfortunately increasing the likelihood of crashes.
