Syllabus

The general division of the common pleas court had jurisdiction over defendant who committed offense as a juvenile. Statute deprives juvenile court of jurisdiction if a person under eighteen years of age allegedly commits an act that would be a felony if committed by an adult and the person is not taken into custody or apprehended for that act until after the person attains twenty one years of age. R.C. 2151.23(I) uses the terms \apprehended\ and \taken into custody\ to mean some form of detention. The defendant was not detained for his offense at the time he was first identified, so he was neither in custody nor apprehended.
