Syllabus

Motion to suppress; search and seizure; Fourth Amendment; probable cause; conceded error; consecutive sentences; findings; R.C. 2929.14(C)(4); allied offenses. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded. The trial court did not err by denying the motion to suppress based on the fact that the defendant failed to demonstrate that the evidence demonstrating probable cause from the sequence of events and observations presented in the affidavit supporting the search warrant was insufficient. Nevertheless, the sentences imposed on two of the drug-related counts are contrary to law based on the State's concession that those two offenses should have merged. And finally, the consecutive sentences on all counts are reversed based on the lack of findings under R.C. 2929.14(C)(4).
