Batavia - The Ohio State Highway Patrol, in conjunction with Miami Township Police Department and Clermont County Sheriff's Office, announced today that an OVI checkpoint will be held from 10:00 PM to 2:00 AM tonight on SR 28, east of Buckwheat Road, in Miami Township, Clermont County.

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.
