(From the Ohio State Highway Patrol)

The Ohio State Highway Patrol, along with assistance from the Findlay Police Department, conducted an OVI checkpoint on July 18th, 2025 on Tiffin Avenue.

The following are the results of that checkpoint.

A total of 1,048 vehicles were checked from 8:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M.

In that time, there was 1 vehicle that was diverted and the driver was arrested for impaired driving.

1 additional driver was arrested for OVI outside of the checkpoint.

OVI checkpoints, which are funded by federal grant funds, are planned to deter and intercept impaired drivers.

The Ohio State Highway Patrol would like to remind motorists to always drive sober and never get behind the wheel of vehicle if you have been drinking or consuming any type of drugs.

WFIN – The Highway Patrol told WFIN News that a checkpoint’s success is not determined by the number of impaired drivers they find, rather, all checkpoints are successful because they increase public awareness about the problem of impaired driving and show that authorities take it very seriously.
