AUTOS/CRIMINAL – DRIVING UNDER OVI SUSPENSION – EVIDENCE: Defendant's conviction for operating a motor vehicle while under an OVI suspension in violation of R.C. 4510.14(A) was not against the manifest weight of the evidence where police found defendant, whose license was OVI-suspended, alone, asleep in the driver's seat of his car in the drive-through lane of a fast-food restaurant, with the key in the ignition, the vehicle running and the headlights on, and defendant told police that he was getting food and then going home, and where the trial court stated that it did not believe the testimony of defense witnesses that someone other than defendant had driven the car to the drive-through lane and then left.
