Syllabus

Sufficiency of evidence resisting arrest R.C. 2921.33(A) lawful arrest. Because the evidence demonstrated that the defendant was not under arrest when he allegedly struck a highway patrol trooper in the chest, and that he did not engage in any physical activity to prevent or delay his arrest, the state failed to prove essential elements of the offense of resisting arrest, and the evidence was therefore insufficient to support the defendant's conviction for resisting arrest under R.C. 2921.33(A).
