Syllabus

R.C. 2903.11; menacing by stalking; knowingly; manifest weight; sufficiency; mental distress; pattern of conduct. Appellant's conviction of menacing by stalking is affirmed. The record contains evidence indicating that appellant acted knowingly and engaged in a pattern of conduct that caused the victim to experience mental distress. Particularly, numerous witnesses testified that they saw appellant's vehicle driving past the victim's home on numerous occasions, including two neighbors who did not know the victim or appellant. This activity occurred after the victim expressly conveyed to appellant that she wanted to be left alone. Therefore, appellant's sole conviction of menacing by stalking is not against the manifest weight of the evidence nor based on insufficient evidence.
