Washington Co. to crack down on "mudrunning"

Washington County is cracking down on "mudrunners." Engineer David Patterson says the joyrides down class B and C roads create ruts that are costly to repair, and can make it difficult for farmers to access their fields. Patterson says people who go on "mudruns" could be charged with criminal mischief, failure to maintain control of their vehicle or trespassing, depending on what type of road is damaged. Anyone who sees "mudrunning" is encouraged to contact the Sheriff's Office.
