Syllabus

Trial court did not err when it ordered appellant to serve his prison sentence for a conviction of breaking and entering in one case consecutive to a concurrent prison sentence for two other convictions of breaking and entering in another case where the trial court made the findings required by R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) at the sentencing hearing and incorporated those finding into the judgment entry. Nothing in the statutory language precludes a trial court from imposing consecutive sentences for multiple convictions of fifth-degree felonies where there was no physical harm to the victims, provided the trial court makes the findings required by R.C. 2929.14(C)(4) at the sentencing hearing and incorporated those finding into the judgment entry. Judgment affirmed.
