ALLEN COUNTY, Ohio (WLIO) - Many counties in our viewing area went under a level 3 roadway advisory Sunday night due to the storm.
In Allen County, Sheriff Matt Treglia says the level 3 roadway advisory was the first one he has ever issued. He believes the last time it was used was during the ice storm of 2005. A level 3 is used when roads are hazardous and only essential personal should be out and if you don't adhere to that you could be ticketed.
"The people that are going to be ticketed in these situations are going to be the people that are out joy riding out on properties they shouldn't be, basically playing in the snow when it's a level three, when it's dangerous, and taking up essential services from us, fire departments, EMS and county engineers office," said Sheriff Treglia. "Those are the people we're going to be looking for at that point."
The sheriff keeps in touch with county road officials when determining roadway advisories.
