Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn has announced that the sheriff’s office will be conducting increased patrols over St. Patrick’s Day weekend, thanks to grant funding from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office.
The blitz will start Friday, March 12, and will continue through Thursday, March 18.
Deputies will pay particular attention for violations such as driving under the influence, failure to yield and speeding – all of which are leading factors in fatal crashes.
There will be zero tolerance for driving under the influence and seat belt violations.
