• 2025 Ohio 2791

Syllabus

The trial court erred in denying appellant's motion to suppress evidence. The police officer's encounter with appellant was not consensual, the officer did not identify any suspected traffic infraction or proceed as if to issue a citation, and he lacked a reasonable, articulable suspicion of other criminal activity when he detained appellant. Judgment reversed and remanded.
