Ohio State Highway Patrol plans OVI checkpoint in Franklin

Lebanon - The Ohio State Highway Patrol, in conjunction with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office, and Franklin Police Department, announce today that an OVI checkpoint will be held from 10 p.m. to midnight on state Route 73 in the City of Franklin, in Warren 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 alcohol-related injury and 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 while impaired.
