Syllabus

The evidence was insufficient to prove that, before violating a civil protection order, appellant had proper notice of it. Proper service or statutorily authorized alternative notice to a defendant is an element of the offense. R.C. 2919.27(D). In addition, on this record, the trial court's failure to instruct the jury on this element of the offense constituted plain error. Judgment reversed and conviction vacated.
