OVI Checkpoint in Guernsey County

The Ohio State Highway Patrol announced Friday that an OVI checkpoint will be held from 8pm to 10pm on US 22 in Guernsey County.

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

The checkpoint will also be held in conjunction with nearby saturation patrols to aggressively combat impaired driver-related injury fatal crashes.

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.
