• 2025 Ohio 4603

Syllabus

Appellant's speedy-trial rights were not violated. The trial court did not err by overruling appellant's motion to suppress evidence. The trial court did not err by imposing a mandatory sentence for appellant's third-degree felony possession of cocaine offense or by not merging the offense with appellant's fifth-degree felony aggravated possession of drugs offense. Appellant's claims that his drug possession convictions were not supported by sufficient evidence and were against the manifest weight of the evidence based on a purportedly unclear chain of custody for the drugs lack merit. Judgment affirmed.
