Syllabus

Sufficiency of the evidence; manifest weight; drug possession; R.C. 2925.11(A). Judgment affirmed. Appellant's conviction for possession of drugs was supported by sufficient evidence and was not against the manifest weight of the evidence. Appellant argued that he did not possess the pill bottle that was later found to contain methamphetamines. Both police officers' testimonies and video evidence showed that appellant had something in his hand that resembled the pill bottle, and later, as he was being apprehended by police, he crouched down near the spot where the pill bottle was found.
