Deputies of the Logan County Sheriff’s Office reported the following Labor Day weekend arrests for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs:
• Ty G. Oakley, 22, of 3232 S. County Road 5, Bellefontaine, was charged with OVI related to a non-injury crash about 3:10 a.m. Monday.
Deputies were first dispatched to Oakley’s address after he reported he had swerved to miss a deer and had heavy damage to his vehicle. While en route to his residence, deputies observed fresh skid marks at 2568 S. C.R. 5 and a vehicle located down an embankment.
When they stopped to check on the vehicle, they located Oakley inside the vehicle and observed that he was unsteady on his feet. Deputies asked him if he needed a squad to check him out, but he said he was not injured.
He admitted to consuming beer that evening, and said he was attempting to drive home when he reportedly swerved to miss a deer on a slight curve and slid off the road into the ditch.
Field sobriety tests were administered, and he was placed under arrest and transported to the Logan County Jail, where he submitted to a breath test, with a result of 0.164 blood alcohol content. He also was cited for driving under suspension and failure to control. The defendant had a prior OVI in 2017, deputies said.

Deputies on patrol in the area of Township Road 293 and north State Route 235 observed his vehicle attempting to make a turn and nearly strike another vehicle that was sitting stationary.
Deputies said the suspect vehicle continued driving left of center and nearly struck the cruiser.
The traffic stop was initiated, and deputies said Myers was slurring his speech and was slow to respond to them. Field sobriety tests were administered, and the defendant admitted to drinking several beers during the day.
En route to the Logan County Jail, he apologized for his actions, stating that he should not have been driving.
