Annotations
Evidence that a motorist ran at least one stop sign, exceeded the speed limit, and crossed over the road median during a chase by a police officer, was sufficient to sustain his conviction for willful reckless driving even though no property damage was done to other cars and no injuries were sustained. Goodloe v. Parratt, 453 F.Supp. 1380 (D. Neb. 1978).
The imposition of concurrent terms of ten years imposed upon a defendant who was convicted of willful reckless driving and operating a motor vehicle to avoid arrest, and who had been adjudged to be an habitual criminal, does not constitute cruel and unusual punishment. Goodloe v. Parratt, 453 F.Supp. 1380 (D. Neb. 1978).
