  • 2024 Ohio 1294

Syllabus

The trial court did not abuse its discretion in sentencing appellant to a jail term after he failed to comply with purge conditions related to non-payment of child support. Although appellant was incarcerated at the time of sentencing, appellant had failed to comply with the purge conditions before being incarcerated. Any issue as to the court's failure to award jail-time credit is moot because appellant completed the sentence and no relief is possible. Judgment affirmed.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that issuing judge “may draw reasonable inferences from the material presented in the warrant application.”
  • recognizing that the “ ‘sure course’ ” standard is one way of satisfying the traditional nexus requirement of probable cause”
  • holding that “additional evidence” must link a suspect’s home to “the suspected criminal activity”
  • noting that officers are not expected to appreciate the constitutional intricacies of the law
  • finding that the probable cause requirement was not met, in part, because the affidavit provided no evidence that defendant had transported contraband from his post office box to his residence or facts otherwise linking his home to the suspected illegal activity
  • applying the good faith exception to a search conducted pursuant to an anticipatory warrant not supported by probable cause
