Syllabus

Guilty pleas; breaking and entering; theft; criminal damaging or endangering; multiple cases; Crim.R. 11(C); Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(b); complied; prejudice; consecutive sentences; R.C. 2953.08(G)(2); R.C. 2929.14(C)(4); multiple offenses; violated; community control; criminal history; findings; support. Affirmed the trial court's judgment in each of the cases appealed, including appellant's convictions and sentences, as well as the court's imposition of consecutive sentences between the five cases. The record demonstrated the trial court's compliance with Crim.R. 11(C), and appellant failed to demonstrate error under Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(b) or any prejudice in relation to his claimed error. The trial court made the requisite findings for imposing consecutive sentences pursuant to R.C. 2929.14(C)(4), and it could not be clearly and convincingly found that the evidence did not support the trial court's findings.
