Lorain woman gets three speeding tickets in an hour in Sheffield

SHEFFIELD — A Lorain woman with a clean recent driving record apparently had a bad night Saturday and wound up with three speeding tickets in just over an hour in Sheffield.

According to Chief Larry Bliss, Amy Bobkovich, 38, was first pulled over and ticketed at 11:40 p.m. Saturday on East River Road between Colorado Avenue and French Creek Road. She was clocked at doing 55 mph in a 35-mph zone, Bliss said.

At 11:50 p.m. she was pulled over again, by a different officer, about a mile south of there, again on East River, about a half-mile north of state Route 254, Bliss said, and was again clocked at 55 mph in a 35-mph zone.

At 12:43 a.m. Sunday, she was pulled over on Detroit Road east of East River and clocked at 51 mph in a 35-mph zone.

According to Bliss, officers’ reports note that Bobkovich was “polite and cooperative” and said she just wasn’t paying attention.

Bobkovich hadn’t had a traffic ticket in six or seven years, Bliss said.

Bliss said he didn’t know whether Bobkovich had received any prior warnings about her speed but said of her going at least 20 mph over the speed limit, “that’s significant, two times.”

Bliss referred questions on Bobkovich’s fine amount to the Sheffield mayor’s court.
