74 speeding tickets along with tickets for seat belts, driver's licenses, and other driving violations made up the 114 citations.

The highest speed recorded in Sioux Falls on Saturday was a man doing 102 mph in a 40 miles per hour zone near 26^th Street and Ellis Road.

He was cited for reckless driving.

Another driver was ticketed for doing 67 mph in a 30 mph zone on Kiwanis Ave.

Officer Clemens stated concerning the Saturation patrols “This is not anything we are going to stop doing soon.

One of the biggest complaints we get is driving and speeding.
