State v. Vaughn

• 2025 Ohio 2274

Syllabus

Trial court did not err in denying appellant's motion to suppress evidence from her urine analysis and from her interview conducted in her hospital room. The state substantially complied with the regulations governing urine collection where the urine was initially collected in a clean bedpan and then immediately transferred to a sealed plastic vial. There was no requirement for a separate witness besides the detective who witnessed her produce the sample and sealed the sample. Appellant was not under custodial interrogation, therefore there was no need to provide Miranda warnings.
