John J. Sigg, 80, claims police officers clocked him going 38 mph in a 35 mph zone.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. — An 80-year-old Kansas man was pursued by police and tased by a deputy — all for driving 3 mph over the speed limit, a federal lawsuit claims.
On April 16, 2021, Sigg was clocked by an Iola, Kansas, officer going 38 mph in a 35 mph speed zone. A pursuit began. The lawsuit said Sigg was unaware police were following him even though law enforcement vehicles from other departments joined the pursuit in an area that is about 100 miles southwest of Kansas City, Missouri.
