Sheriff’s office conducts Super Bowl traffic blitz

Sheriff Mark Wasylyshyn has announced that the Wood County Sheriff’s Office will be conducting increased patrol over the Super Bowl weekend using grant funding from the Ohio Traffic Safety Office.

This blitz will start on Sunday and run through Monday.

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.
