Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn has announced that the sheriff’s office will be conducting increased patrols from Thursday, July 4, through Sunday, July 7, thanks to grant funding from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office.
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, the sheriff said.
