After about 1.50 inches of rain from Friday into Saturday, some owners of 4-wheel drive vehicles took to muddy roads over the weekend, and those who got stuck, were cited for driving on roads that are closed when roads are muddy.

Saline County Undersheriff Roger Soldan said three people were cited for driving on and getting stuck in the 300 block of E. Glanville Road. Others were cited for driving in the 500 block of Whitmore Road, 3000 block of E. Cloud, and 1800 block of N. Tressin.

Soldan said there are no homes on the roads which are used primarily by farmers to access fields. When the roads become wet, they become impassable and it is illegal to drive on them if a sign is posted on the road.

Soldan said the Sheriff’s Office is asking Saline County to post road closure signs on more roads when they are wet.
