Sobriety Checkpoint (Somewhere) This Week

There will be an OVI checkpoint somewhere in the area this week, but the Ohio State Highway Patrol has not announced the location yet or day yet.

The patrol announced in a press release Monday that sometime in the next seven days a sobriety checkpoint will be set up to "deter and intercept impaired drivers." 

The day before the checkpoint is set up, the county where it will take place will be announced. The morning of the checkpoint, the location will be announced.

"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 impaired," a press release stated.

Wherever the checkpoint is set up, local law enforcement agencies will help with the operation, according to the state highway patrol.

The Solon Police Department also has lots of tips to stay safe this weekend. Look for those later this week on Solon Patch.
