Syllabus

Appellant's convictions for felonious assault, assault, and vandalism were supported by sufficient evidence and were not against the manifest weight of the evidence. The evidence showed that appellant knowingly caused serious physical harm to three corrections officers by throwing open baggies of methamphetamine at them. Appellant recklessly caused serious physical harm to another officer who later came in contact with the spilled drugs. With respect to vandalism, the evidence showed that the cost to decontaminate and clean the jail was at least $1,000, the amount required to show serious physical harm to property owned by a government entity. Judgment affirmed. (Froelich, J., concurring in part and dissenting in part.)
