Wood County Sheriff’s Office announces increased patrols during prom blitz

From WOOD COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE

Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn announced that the Wood County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting increased patrols over the prom season due to grant funding from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office. This blitz will run through Sunday, May 31.

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.
