Syllabus

The trial court properly declined to merge appellant's convictions for domestic violence in violation of R.C. 2919.25(A) and abduction in violation of R.C. 2905.02(A)(2) as allied offenses. The two offenses created separate, identifiable harms to the victim, the offenses were separated in time by a space of thirty minutes, and the context surrounding each demonstrated a separate animus in committing the offenses.
