• 2025 Ohio 2256

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in overruling appellant's motion to suppress his statements to state agents and evidence of his possession of a firearm following an administrative inspection of a club at which appellant was providing security services. The encounter was consensual, and the firearm was in plain view. Even if a brief detention occurred, the investigating agents had reasonable suspicion that criminal activity was afoot. Appellant's conviction for having weapons under disability was supported by sufficient evidence of his prior conviction of a felony offense of violence. Judgment affirmed.
