Syllabus

RESISTING ARREST — R.C. 2921.33(B) — CAUSATION — EVIDENCE — SUFFICIENCY — MANIFEST WEIGHT: Defendant's conviction for resisting arrest was supported by sufficient evidence and not against the weight of the evidence: the record reflects defendant violently resisted the officers where a reasonable person would have known that he was being lawfully arrested, and such resistance caused an arresting officer to sustain an injury to his knee when he had to kneel on the floor in the vicinity of taser prongs—which did not connect with defendant—to assist with subduing and arresting defendant.
