Town Talk II
The local police department has taken a firm policy toward folks driving without a driver license. If you or your kids are driving around with no license and get stopped, the police will call Municipal Judge Deborah Campbell and haul you to court immediately to arrange to pay the fines and you run the risk of the vehicle being impounded. Not a good idea to drive in Friona without a driver license. There were 12 such arrests in April.
