Citations

  • 2017 Ohio 7465

Syllabus

Defendant's convictions for breaking and entering and theft for breaking into a car owned by an individual and stealing a credit card found in the car and belonging to another individual were not allied offenses of similar import because the offenses involved separate victims and each victim suffered a separate and identifiable harm. Defendant was properly convicted of fourth-degree felony grand theft of a motor vehicle for stealing an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) because the ATV falls within the definition of a motor vehicle under R.C. 2913.01(FF) and 4501.01(B).
