Syllabus

State's appeal. The trial court erred in sustaining appellee's motion to suppress and in concluding that police officers did not have probable cause for his arrest for domestic violence. An officer responded to a report of domestic violence and, based on his conversation with the complainant, he had reasonable grounds to believe that appellee had committed domestic violence. This officer instructed fellow officers near appellee's location to arrest him as the \preferred course of action\ in a domestic violence situation pursuant to R.C. 2935.03(B)(3)(b). The officers' collective knowledge justified appellee's arrest. Judgment reversed and remanded.
