Indianola - Stay away (Starkville, Sunflower: tax, live, law)

[StarRider1965]

Recently my wife was staying with her parents that live near Indianola. She drove into Indianola in our Green Convertible Sebring and was pulled over not once, but twice, apparently a local drug dealer owns the same type of car and same color.

My wife went to Indianola to get supper from the local Sonic. The cops pulled in behind her, made her get out of the car. Made my mother-in-law get out of the car (she's paralyzed on the left side from a stroke). Searched the car (found nothing) and warned her, that if she ever returns to Indianola they would take her to jail (just to harass her). And for the final straw they ticketed my car for not getting out of the way of an Emergency Vehicle, even though the car was in Starkville (about 100 miles away).

Needless to say, STAY AWAY FROM INDIANOLA, MS

I had heard Indianola had gotten pretty bad. They need the tax revenue and they've turned their second-string law enforcement loose on the world- especially if you don't have a Sunflower County tag!

I drive through Indianola all the time and dread it because the people there all drive 5-10 miles per hour UNDER the speed limit. I guess I now know why. I've no problems to report thankfully.
