Mount Gilead – The Ohio State Highway Patrol, in conjunction with the Mount Vernon Police Department and the Knox County Sheriff’s Office, announced today that OVI checkpoints will be held from 8pm to 1am tonight on SR13/South Main Street and US36/Coshocton Avenue, in Knox County. The OVI checkpoints, funded by federal grant funds, are planned to deter and intercept impaired drivers. The checkpoints will also be held in conjunction with nearby saturation patrols to aggressively combat impaired driver-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 impaired.
