• 2017 Ohio 686

Syllabus

Appellant's argument that his plea was not knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered was without merit where the court complied with the requirements of Traf.R. 10 and the record demonstrated the court's modification of appellant's bond was not done to coerce appellant into entering a plea, but rather done to ensure that appellant would not fail to appear at further court proceedings. Further, the court did not err in imposing a jail sentence on appellant where the record reflects the court considered the purposes of sentencing under R.C. 2929.21 and 2929.22 and sentenced appellant within the statutory limits for a first-degree misdemeanor in accordance with R.C. 2929.24(A).
