Syllabus

Appellant's guilty plea was knowingly, intelligently, and voluntarily entered where the trial court properly advised appellant of the nature of the charges and the maximum penalties involved for each offense prior to him entering his guilty plea as required by Crim.R. 11(C)(2)(a). The trial court therefore did not err by accepting appellant's plea. The trial court also did not err by considering so-called \additional evidence\ provided by the state at sentencing to assist it in determining whether any of the offenses for which appellant pled guilty were allied offenses of similar import, or whether to impose consecutive sentences, where the facts appellant complained of were the same facts that were contained in the presentence investigative report.
