Syllabus

The trial court did not err by overruling appellant's motion to suppress. Irrespective of whether police officers should have delivered a Miranda warning before asking appellant, who was in their custody, where they could find his cellular telephone, the officers would inevitably have discovered the telephone during the subsequent, routine inventory and collection of appellant's personal property. In addition, the trial court did not err by declining to merge the two counts for which appellant entered an admission of guilt. Appellant committed two violations of R.C. 2907.323(A)(1) by capturing two separate video recordings, regardless of the fact that the two recordings related to a continuous sequence of events involving one victim. Judgment affirmed.
