Syllabus

RESISTING ARREST — FORCE — MOTION TO SUPPRESS — CRIM.R. 12(D) — HEARSAY —LAWFUL ARREST: The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it struck defendant's motion to suppress as untimely where defendant's motion was filed one day before trial and was not dependent on discovery disclosed by the State the morning of trial. The trial court did not abuse its discretion when it permitted an officer to testify that defendant had an open arrest warrant based on a computer search, as the testimony was admitted to show the officer's state of mind, not the truth of the matter asserted. Defendant's conviction for resisting arrest was supported by sufficient evidence and not contrary to the manifest weight of the evidence where the evidence showed that defendant was the subject of an arrest warrant and where defendant pulled away from the officer who attempted to place him under arrest.
