Syllabus

Judgment affirmed. The trial court did not abuse its discretion in, 1) overruling appellant's motion in limine because the testimony was relevant, intrinsic evidence related to the motive for the altercation and, as such, the evidence was not \other acts\ evidence, and thus its admission is not subject to Evid.R. 404(B), and 2) in allowing a police officer's testimony of out-of-court statements where they were offered to explain a police officer's conduct, rather than to prove the truth of the matter asserted therein, because such statements are not hearsay.
