Sheriff plans holiday enforcement blitz

The Wood County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting increased patrols  Thursday July 2 through Sunday July 5.

During the “blitz,” deputies will be paying particular attention for violations, such as driving under the influence, failure to yield, and speeding. All are leading factors in fatal crashes.

The sheriff’s office has stated there will be zero tolerance as well  for seat belt violations.

Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn said the increased patrols are being fund through a grant by the Ohio Traffic Safety Office
