Wood County Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn has announced that the sheriff’s office will be conducting increased patrols over the Super Bowl weekend, thanks to grant funding from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office. This blitz will start on Sunday, Feb. 11, and run through Monday, Feb. 12.
Deputies will pay particular attention to violations such as driving under the influence, failure to yield and speeding – all which are leading factors in fatal crashes. There will be zero tolerance for driving under the influence and seat belt violations.
