PAWNEE COUNTY — Law enforcement officers in rural Pawnee County had a surprise during a traffic stop Wednesday.
According to a social media report from Great Bend Police, both of the K9 teams assisted in an enforcement activity in Pawnee Co. During the course of the enforcement, Officer Taylor Reed conducted a traffic stop for a minor violation.
The driver was 28-year-old Rudy Ford, a defensive back with the Green Bay Packers. The seven-year NFL veteran played college football at Auburn, according to his Packer bio.
"This interaction went great, but it makes you think. We have over 18,000 cars a day drive down 10th Street in Great Bend. Good, bad or otherwise, you just don’t know who is passing through our communities."
