SOBRIETY CHECKPOINT TO BE HELD THIS WEEK IN DEFIANCE AREA

As always, if you drink… don’t drive. Not only is it dan­ger­ous, but this week it could also be more costly.

The Defi­ance post of the Ohio High­way Patrol has announced that it is con­duct­ing an OVI check­point to deter and inter­cept impaired dri­vers this week.

Just where the check­point will take place will be announced just prior to that check­point. Oper­a­tional sup­port for the check­point will be pro­vided by local law enforce­ment agen­cies.

Police say that 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.
