OVI checkpoint tonight in Greene County
Sep. 18—An OVI checkpoint is tonight on Colonel Glenn Highway in Greene County.
The checkpoint from 9 to 11 p.m. will be conducted by the Ohio State Highway Patrol in conjunction with the Beavercreek Police Department and the Greene County Sheriff's Office.
State law requires that law enforcement announce times and places of sobriety checkpoints ahead of time.
The checkpoint is funded by federal grants and aims to deter and intercept impaired drivers. Extra patrols in the area of the checkpoint, called saturation patrols, also are also planned.
Anyone who plans to drink alcoholic beverages is urged to arrange for a ride or designate a sober driver, the OSHP said.
