WASHINGTON TWP, Ohio - Officers were out in full force Saturday night, attempting to crack down on any potential drunk drivers on the tail end of the Thanksgiving holiday.

Montgomery County's OVI set up a checkpoint near the intersection of Lyons Drive and Yankee Street in Washington Township. Authorities took several drivers in custody, including an alleged intoxicated man who drove his truck on the curb and flattened two tires.

Officials say that Thanksgiving usually brings out more drunk drivers than any other holiday. Police said they were also more concerned than usually because of the projected snow and ice, which could make roadways even more dangerous.

Overall, deputies reported 5 OVI arrests, 1 misdemeanor arrest, 1 felony arrest, 1 adult restraint citation, 1 driving under suspension, and 5 other traffic citations. All of the suspected impaired drivers were taken to Montgomery County Jail.

The checkpoint was combined effort between the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office, Ohio Highway Patrol, Miami Township Police Department, and Centerville Police Department.
