The sheriff’s office says it has made 40 arrests for impaired driving at or near the proposed checkpoint location in 2022.
In 2021, deputies made 53 arrests in the same area for impaired driving.
“OVI checkpoints provide a valuable opportunity for law enforcement to educate the public about the dangers and consequences associated with impaired driving, while identifying and removing impaired drivers from our roadways,” the sheriff’s office said.
