Syllabus

Tolling of a Community-Control Sentence for Absconding; R.C. 2929.15(A)(1). More than eight years after the trial court issued a bench warrant alleging that the defendant-appellant had failed to comply with the conditions of her supervision, the defendant-appellant filed a motion to lift the bench warrant. Without any legal analysis, the trial court denied the defendant-appellant's motion. Since the trial court never made a determination that the defendant-appellant had absconded, the defendant-appellant's five-year term of community control was never tolled such that the trial court lacked authority to take further action because the original term of community control had long since expired. The judgment of the trial court is reversed.
