OVI checkpoint Friday night in Butler County

The Ohio State Highway Patrol announced an OVI checkpoint will be held at 7 p.m. Friday on Butler-Warren Road north of Tylersville Road in West Chester Twp.

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

State law requires that law enforcement announce the times and locations of sobriety checkpoints.

Members of the Butler County OVI Tasks Force, Butler County Sheriff’s Office, West Chester Police and the Ohio State Highway Patrol will staff the checkpoint as well as have nearby “saturation” patrols to aggressively combat alcohol-related injury and fatal crashes.

Law enforcement officials advises that anyone planning to consume alcohol designate a driver or make other travel arrangements prior to drinking.
