PIQUA — The Ohio State Highway Patrol (OSP) has announced the results from the OVI checkpoint conducted in conjunction with the Sidney Police Department Friday night on state Route 47.

A total of 330 vehicles were checked driving through the checkpoint on state Route 47 between 7 and 9 p.m. Friday. There were no OVI arrests made during the checkpoint.

In addition to the checkpoint, troopers and officers were conducting saturation patrols in the area from 7 p.m. Friday until midnight on Saturday morning. Nine traffic contacts were made during this time frame, said a press release from OSP, with citations issued for several traffic violations, and one arrest for impaired driving.
