Later that night, at about 10 p.m., two RIDE checks were set up within the detachment areas of Springwater and Clearview townships.

During the same shift at approximately 2:30 a.m., an officer was conducting traffic enforcement on County Road 27 within Springwater Township where a vehicle was stopped for a violation. During interaction with the driver police detected signs of alcohol use. After failing a roadside test, the driver was subsequently arrested.
