BUTLER COUNTY — The Butler County OVI Task Force will be conducting an OVI Checkpoint tonight Saturday, April 17 in Fairfield.

The sobriety checkpoint will start at 11:00 p.m. and end no later than 3:00 a.m. on northbound State Route 4 at Symmes Road.

In addition to the checkpoint, there will be saturation patrols in the area, as part of the task force’s continuing effort to reduce OVI-related crashes resulting in injuries and fatalities.

State law requires OVI checkpoint times and locations must be announced ahead of time.

The OVI Task Force is funded by U.S. DOT/NHTSA and ODPS.

We will update this story once we learn the locations of the checkpoints.
