The Ohio State Highway Patrol has announced that no citations were issued Friday night at an OVI checkpoint in Greene County.

The checkpoint was from 9 to 11 p.m. on Colonel Glenn Highway with saturation patrols in the area.

Law enforcement checked 286 vehicles at the checkpoint, the highway patrol said.

The checkpoint and saturation patrols are being held to help remove impaired drivers from the road and prevent driver-related injury and fatal crashes.

There have been at least 240 deadly OVI-related crashes this year in Ohio including one in Greene County, according to OSHP.

Anyone who plans on consuming alcohol should make plans for a safe and sober driver before starting to drink.
