Syllabus

Community-control sanctions misdemeanor sentencing criminal mischief the Jones test R.C. 2929.27(A) R.C. 2929.22(B). Judgment affirmed in part and vacated in part. The defendant entered a guilty plea to a single count of criminal mischief, a third-degree misdemeanor stemming from conduct related to tearing down a political sign at a gas station. After weighing the factors posed by the Ohio Supreme Court in State v. Jones, 49 Ohio St.3d 51, 53, 550 N.E.2d 469 (1990), for setting community-control conditions, we find that the trial court erred in requiring the defendant to submit to a substance abuse assessment and counseling and submit to substance abuse testing, but do not find that the trial court erred in requiring the defendant to attend anger management and complete a mental health screening.
