OVI Checkpoint Scheduled In Williams County Friday Night

June 6, 2024No Comments1 Min Read

DEFIANCE – The Ohio State Highway Patrol has announced that an OVI checkpoint will be held in Williams County tomorrow evening.

The OVI checkpoint, funded by federal grant funds, is planned to deter and intercept impaired drivers.

“Based on provisional data, there were 11,324 OVI-related crashes in which 725 people were killed last year in Ohio”, Lieutenant Alec P. Coil, commander of the Defiance Post, said.

“State troopers make on average 15,000 OVI arrests each year in an attempt to combat these dangerous drivers. OVI checkpoints are designed to not only deter impaired driving but to proactively remove these dangerous drivers from our roadways”.

The location of the checkpoint will be announced Friday morning. The Ohio State Highway Patrol reminds you to call 911 or #677 if you suspect an impaired driver.
