Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn has announced that his office will be conducting increased patrols over the St. Patrick’s Day holiday. The patrol blitz will run from Friday, March 17, through Sunday, March 19.
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, according to the sheriff’s office.
