• 2017 Ohio 8762

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling Appellant's motion to suppress the contraband discovered inside his vehicle. The warrantless search of Appellant's vehicle was lawful under the automobile exception to the warrant requirement because two of the officers at the scene smelled the odor of marijuana emanating from the vehicle, which provided probable cause to conduct a warrantless search, and at least one of the officers testified regarding his training and experience in detecting the odor of marijuana. Affirmed.
