Please use common sense

Dear Editor, All the years I’ve driven, and when I did pass my test that meant I had responsibility. Please take note! Having a driver license doesn’t give people the right to act stupid and to abuse their privilege. When you see a sign that reads, “Do not enter” that means you should obey it. That also goes for driving sober as well. I have seen many bad accidents due to drinking and driving. I was a ride-along with the Aberdeen Police Department in Washington state from 1973 to 1990, until my family moved to Kingman. In my lifetime I’ve…

Man arrested after becoming unruly in court

LAKE HAVASU CITY – A Lake Havasu City man reportedly fought with officers who escorted him from a courtroom for his unruly behavior last month. The incident occurred August 5 at the Lake Havasu City municipal court on College Drive. A police report said Judge M. Dunbar repeatedly told Travis Ramsey, 24, to quit talking because he was disrupting hearings for traffic offenses. Police said Ramsey’s behavior became increasingly aggressive and disrespectful as Judge Dunbar ruled against him in his court matters. Ramsey allegedly challenged officer Dailey who tried to calm him down. “Ramsey stood straight up, squared his shoulders,…

KFD / NACFD Agreement revisited

Dear Editor, I have seen a lot of rants and raves and letters to the editor regarding the agreement. I am a retired firefighter from Los Angeles County (31 years). I have seen comments that Chief Rhoades will be putting the $155,000 in his pocket. Nothing is further from the truth. No one pockets any money. This agreement will greatly benefit both departments as well as the residents they serve. If anything, this will create a lot of extra work for the chief and his staff. But when fully implemented, we will have two departments that could function as one….
