The Lamar Police Department took a closer look at a semi traveling through town this past
Wednesday morning. Officers said there was just a look about the vehicle that caused them
to pull it over for a closer inspection. The driver had no qualms about letting the K-9 unit
get a closer look, and after a brief inspection, all was found to be on the up and up. The
driver continued his trip, after a few minutes delay.
