During the checkpoint four people were cited for expired registration and another four for not having an operator’s license, according to the sheriff’s office. One citation was issued for each of the following: expired operator’s license, seat belt violation, stop sign violation, driving under suspension and a misdemeanor drug violation.
The location was reportedly chosen based on data. Last year, deputies made 27 impaired driving arrests at or near the checkpoint, according to the sheriff’s office. In 2020, there were 33 arrested for impaired driving in the same area.
So far this year, there have been at least 102 OVI-related crashes and 92 alcohol-related crashes in Montgomery County, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol.
Deputies will continue to be conducting OVI saturation patrols for the remainder of the weekend.
