Traffic Stop of Lynx Star Top October Story on Patch

Other posts drawing a plenty lot of interest included the vote of the Northwestern College student senate on the marriage issue.

The Roseville Police Department's traffic stop of Minnesota Lynx basketball star Seimone Augustus was the most heavily-viewed story in October on Roseville Patch.

Our original post said "Minnesota Lynx basketball star Seimone Augustus cried foul Monday (Oct. 8) for being stopped by a Roseville police officer for technically violating a traffic regulation, having an air freshener hanging from the rear-view mirror of her car.'" The issue surfaced when Augustus tweeted about the incident, which took place near Rosedale Center.

Ultimately, Augustus put the issue behind her after speaking with Roseville Chief Rick Mathwig. But the controversy sparked a heavy public discussion, with 15 comments logged on the story.  To see the full report click on to this link:
