• 2018 Ohio 3181

Syllabus

Trial court did not err when it denied appellant's motion to suppress evidence of cocaine and heroin found by police in a warrantless search of appellant's person because police had a reasonable suspicion, based on specific, articulable facts, that appellant was engaged in illegal narcotics activity and may be armed and because the subsequent search of appellant's person, including a pat-down of his groin and buttocks area did not exceed the permissible scope of Terry search for weapons. Judgment affirmed.
