Syllabus

R.C. 4549.021 – AUTOS/CRIMINAL: The evidence was sufficient to support defendant's conviction for failure to stop after an accident on private property under R.C. 4549.021(A) because the plain language of the statute did not require the state to prove whether the vehicle defendant struck was occupied or unoccupied, and the evidence showed that defendant left the scene after striking a car in a parking lot, did not leave the required information or call the police with the information within 24 hours of the accident, and only admitted that she had hit the other vehicle when a police officer confronted her with the evidence he had obtained.
