The Ohio State Highway Patrol says troopers will conduct an OVI sobriety checkpoint this week.

The Wapakoneta Post says the checkpoint is designed to deter and intercept impaired drivers.

The county where the checkpoint will take place will be announced the day before the checkpoint. The specific location will be announced the morning of the checkpoint.

The Patrol reminds anyone planning to consume alcohol to designate a driver or make other travel arrangements before drinking.

Motorists who see a suspected impaired or reckless driver on the road can call #677 to be connected directly with the nearest Ohio State Highway Patrol post.

The Patrol says additional OVI enforcement and education information is available through its OVI Dashboard.
