Perry County Man Booked on OVI Charge Saturday Night
Richard Dale Keeper, 38, was booked into the Perry County Jail just before 11 p.m. Saturday on an OVI charge.
Richard Dale Keeper, 38, was booked into the Perry County Jail at 10:59 p.m. Saturday on a charge of Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated, according to the county's online booking log.
The booking was recorded March 20, 2026, placing Keeper among the jail's intake records for that evening. No additional charges appeared alongside the OVI listing.
In Ohio, a first OVI offense carries a minimum of three days in jail or completion of a driver intervention program, with fines ranging from $375 to $1,075 and a license suspension of one to three years. Factors such as an excessive blood alcohol concentration, child endangerment, or causing injury or death can escalate a first offense to the felony level.
A booking reflects an arrest and a formal charge, not a conviction. Keeper is presumed innocent unless found guilty in court. The Perry County online booking log is updated as intake records are processed and serves as the public record of jail admissions.
