• 2017 Ohio 688

Syllabus

The trial court did not err when it overruled appellant's motion to suppress. The police officer had a reasonable, articulable suspicion to initiate a traffic stop of appellant's vehicle based upon a window tint violation. Additionally, after detecting the odor of burnt marijuana emanating from the interior of appellant's vehicle, the officer had sufficient probable cause to search the passenger compartment of the vehicle wherein contraband was discovered. The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it ordered appellant to pay a mandatory fine in the amount of $7,500.00. Appellant did not receive ineffective assistance when his counsel failed to file an affidavit of indigency prior to his sentencing hearing. Judgment affirmed.
