Syllabus

Evid.R. 404(B); Other Crimes, Wrongs, or Acts; Aggravated Funding of Drug Trafficking; R.C. 2925.05(A). Text messages did not constitute evidence of any other crime, wrong, or act and, therefore, fell outside the scope of Evid.R. 404(B), so the trial court did not deny defendant-appellant a fair trial by not barring admission of the text messages based on Evid.R. 404(B). There was insufficient evidence to sustain defendant-appellant's conviction for aggravated funding of drug trafficking and, therefore, that conviction must be vacated.
