• 2020 Ohio 4087

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion to suppress. The officers saw a car that had fled from them a few days earlier parked at a store while parked, the car's engine was running, but it was unoccupied. The car had dark tinted windows and was playing music loudly. The officers reasonably believed that appellant was the driver of the vehicle when he exited the store, walked to the driver's door, and stopped. The officers reasonably stopped and detained appellant to investigate possible criminal violations connected with the car. Judgment affirmed.
