SAN ANGELO, Texas (Concho Valley Homepage) — The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office partnered with the Grape Creek Volunteer Fire Department to conduct a community action plan at a notoriously dangerous intersection in response to public concerns.

The intersection, the crossroads of United States Highway 87 and North Farm to Market Road 2105, has become the epicenter of many concerns raised by San Angelo and Grape Creek residents over the years due to the frequency of crashes in the area and the dangers they present.

The community action plan implemented by the agency partnership was primarily concerned with enforcing traffic violations in the area that can contribute to crashes at the intersection. Earlier in April, TGSO deputies focused efforts over two days and worked modified schedules where traffic was expected to be at the highest volume.

During the operation, deputies conducted 55 traffic stops for traffic violations, such as speeding, failing to stop at a stop sign, failing to signal turn, failing to signal lane change, failing to signal required distance and multiple equipment violations. During this operation, Deputies also conducted 3 probable cause searches of vehicles and made a singular arrest.

Deputies issued a total of 16 citations and 55 warnings. Below is a list of offenses that the deputies cited and how many times they were committed:

• Speeding: 6
• Disregard Stop Sign: 2
• Driving while License Invalid: 2
• No Driver License: 4
• Expired Vehicle Registration: 1
• Possession of Drug Paraphernalia: 1

One person was also arrested for driving while their license was invalid.

"The Tom Green County Sheriff's Office would like to remind the citizens to use caution at intersections, to stop at designated stop points and to drive defensively," TGSO said.
