On Monday Oct. 5, 2015 the speed limit will be reduced from 40 to 35 mph on Central between Highland and Goodlett which includes the stretch of Central that passes through University of Memphis campus.

Probably a good call. Tons of pedestrians on that street. The rest of the campus is 25mph, right?

Should be 20-25 like around schools. Add turnabout traffic circles would beautify the campus a lot, esp with sculptures and gardens in them.

But this is at least headed in the right direction, along with the landscaped medians.

One of my few claims to fame is that I outran the Walrus when he tried to pull me over near Poplar and E Galloway. I floored it, took a left on Patterson, right on Midland, and lost that turd.

I think I received at least 2-3 speeding tickets from that dude during my college career.

The Ticket Nazi. I think he personally funded the police dept with the amount of tickets he wrote.

Impressive. You saved yourself both a ticket and a mustachioed beating.

He gave me the evil eye once when I went past him going 5 miles under the speed limit. I didn't know he was there, just wasn't in a hurry that morning. I think he was pissed.

During Selby’s prime years in blue, he wrote more than 3,000 tickets a year.

"Dean of speeding tickets" Owen Selby Jr. remembered as quiet man who just did his job

Memphis Police Captain Owen Selby

Former Memphis Police Captain Owen Selby Jr. was known as the dean of speeding tickets.

As a motorcycle patrolman, he once followed a doctor into an operating room because the doctor would not pull over during a traffic stop. And nearly 10 years later, he was dragged by the same doctor’s vehicle for a third of a mile during another attempted stop.

But his wife said he was quiet man who left the pressures of work outside his home.

“He sat and read a lot of books,” Gina Selby said. “He liked to read. He didn’t have much to say, but when he spoke, you listened.”

Selby, 67, who had lived in Bartlett, died Wednesday in hospice care.

A U.S. Marine who fought in the Vietnam War, he spent 31 years as a Memphis police officer. Most of his years as an officer were spent in the motorcycle patrol unit, and after 30 years on the force he was promoted to captain in 2003.

During Selby’s prime years in blue, he wrote more than 3,000 tickets a year.

“He served his country, he served his city, and he got an unnecessary amount of grief for it, but he was just doing his job,” she said.

Selby said her late husband was forced to retire a year after he was promoted because he got a heart infection from having valve-replacement surgery. After suffering a stroke in November 2012, he was moved to the Tennessee State Veterans Home in Humboldt, where he stayed until last month when his condition worsened and he was transferred to the Memphis Veterans Affairs Medical Center.

“When he was sick he never complained,” Selby said. “Whenever you went to visit him he always had a smile on his face.”

She said she is grateful to her husband’s MPD comrades for all the support they have shown her family.

“They’ve been great,” she said. “Everyday (there was) somebody sitting up there with him and (there has been someone) calling me and making sure I’m OK.”

Owen Selby Jr. is survived by his wife Gina Selby; his son Trey Selby, 27, of Fayetteville, Ark.; his mother Peggy Selby of Memphis. He is also survived by two brothers, Johnny Selby of Louisiana and Tommy Selby of North Carolina, and one grandson.

The funeral will be at noon Tuesday at the Memphis Funeral Home and Memorial Gardens, and he will be buried in the Magnolia Cemetery in Batesville, Miss. The family asked that memorials be sent to the Wounded Warriors Project.
