COLUMBUS, Ohio (WTVN) -- The Franklin County DUI Task Force will be conducting two sobriety checkpoints Friday night in Westerville.
One will be on Sunbury Road, south of County Line Road; the second will be on Schrock Road, east of Cooper Road.
Both checkpoints will be manned between 7:30 p.m. Friday and midnight Saturday.
The Task Force also announced that it's launching its saturation patrols, starting Friday and continuing through the New Years' weekend.
