EVIDENCE — SUFFICIENCY — PERMITTING DRUG ABUSE — CHILD ENDANGERMENT — CUSTODY OR CONTROL: Defendant's conviction for permitting drug abuse was supported by sufficient evidence where the State presented evidence that officers located drug scales, baggies, large amounts of cash, firearms, and a small quantity of drugs in defendant's home. Defendant's convictions for child endangerment under Cincinnati Mun.Code 915-3(a) following an officer's locating accessible firearms in defendant's home in which she cohabitated with her boyfriend and her boyfriend's minor children were based on insufficient evidence where the State failed to present any evidence that defendant had custody or control over her boyfriend's children or was in loco parentis to the children.
