Ohio State Highway Patrol announces location of tonight’s Clark County OVI checkpoint

The Ohio State Highway Patrol announced it will conduct an OVI Checkpoint tonight.

The checkpoint will take place on State Route 72 between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m.

“The OVI checkpoint, funded by federal grant funds, is planned to deter and intercept impaired drivers,” a media release says.

It will be conducted with the Clark County Sheriff’s Office.

“The checkpoint will also be held in conjunction with nearby saturation patrols to aggressively combat impaired driver-related injury and fatal crashes,” the release says.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol suggests if you plan to consume alcohol, designate a driver or make other travel arrangements before you drink.

“Don’t let another life be lost for the senseless and selfish act of getting behind the wheel impaired,” the release says.
