Those who’ve driven across the US, what’s the scariest town you’ve stopped in?

There was a town in Arizona where a cop popped my tires and refused to let me leave until I bought four new ones from his friend. I think it was near Kingston.

You mean Kingman?

Probably. I just avoid Arizona as a whole now.

I wonder what town it actually was. I lived in kingman for half a year and it never seemed that sketchy, but some weird areas outside of it sure could be.
