City and Railroad join to get scooters
Bay City police joined with Union Pacific Railroad officers last week to crack down on drivers who illegally scoot through railroad crossings – to the chagrin of some who quickly circulated an e-mail warning to friends speculating that the new interim police chief was to blame for their inconvenience.
“The interim chief is Jack Williams, retired from Victoria PD.
I guess we best be alert!” said one comment, according to the e-mail.
The sweep was made Wednesday, Jan. 31, just two days after Williams came on board as an interim chief following the resignation of the city’s former police chief, Mike Baker.
“Union Pacific contacted the police department three weeks ago to coordinate the program,” Williams said.
