BUCYRUS, OH (MARION COUNTY NOW)—The Ohio State Highway Patrol announced today that an OVI checkpoint will be held in Crawford County tomorrow evening.
The low-manpower OVI checkpoint, funded by federal grant funds, is planned to deter and intercept impaired drivers.
“Based on provisional data, there were 1,380 OVI-related serious injury and fatal crashes in 2024 in Ohio,” Lieutenant Ty Skaggs, commander of the Bucyrus Post said. “State Troopers made over 14,600 OVI arrests last year in an attempt to combat these dangerous drivers.
