The Butler County OVI Task Force will conduct an OVI checkpoint tonight in the City of Middletown as part of ongoing efforts to reduce impaired driving crashes and save lives. The checkpoint is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, beginning at 8 p.m. and ending no later than midnight. Authorities say the checkpoint will be set up on southbound Cincinnati-Dayton Road at 2835 Cin-Day Road, just north of Oxford State Road. The checkpoint is part of a continued enforcement effort aimed at identifying impaired drivers and preventing crashes involving alcohol or drugs. In addition to the checkpoint, officers may also conduct saturation patrols in the area to watch for impaired or dangerous driving behaviors. The Butler County OVI Task Force says its mission remains simple: to save lives. The task force is funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the Ohio Department of Public Safety. Drivers are reminded to plan ahead if they will be drinking—use a designated driver, rideshare service, or other safe transportation option.
