Syllabus

Community-control sanctions; probation; termination; revocation; authority; absconding; tolling; R.C. 2929.15(A)(1); initiated; arrest warrant; State v. Rue, 2020-Ohio-6706; de novo; misapplication. Trial court erred when it terminated the defendant's community-control sanctions by misapplying State v. Rue, 2020-Ohio-6706. The trial court issued an arrest warrant before the stated expiration of the defendant's community-control sanctions, thus initiating a revocation proceeding. The trial court did not determine whether the defendant received notice of the violations that would allow the trial court to retain the authority to determine whether any tolling event occurred and what effect that had on the community-control term.
