Two People Arrested, Many Citations Issued in Gettysburg OVI Checkpoint

DAYTON - Just in time for the holidays, Dayton Police are trying to reduce the number of drunk drivers on the roadways.

The O-V-I checkpoint stopped traffic coming and going along north Gettysburg.
Police say they chose the location because of higher numbers of speeding and drunk drivers in the area.

In total, two people were arrested for driving drunk, four were suspected of O-V-I and a handful more seatbelt and other citations were issued.
But to some Dayton residents these O-V-I checkpoints could be better.

“I watched somebody pass while they were drunk, and I think police need to go into more detail into what they’re doing” said Cassie Mullins, Dayton resident.

“I feel like they’re effective, they stop enough, but I don’t think they stop everything, I think most people have a general idea where they are, where they’re at and when they’re doing them” said Dan Weaver, Dayton resident.

One thing most agree on, O-V-I check-points cuts down on impaired driving.
