State v. Lewis

• 2017 Ohio 1195

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling the appellant's suppression motion. Regardless of whether an unsuccessful, attempted pat down of the appellant was permissible during a traffic stop, the appellant responded by fleeing on foot, thereby giving an officer probable cause to arrest him for obstructing official business. Drugs in the appellant's pocket were found during a search incident to that lawful arrest. Judgment affirmed.
