• 2025 Ohio 1279

Syllabus

Appellant's conviction for failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer was based on sufficient evidence and not against the manifest weight of the evidence; the evidence demonstrated that appellant was the driver of the vehicle that fled from law enforcement during an attempted traffic stop. Appellant's leaving the vehicle and hurrying into his aunt's home after fleeing from law enforcement did not constitute obstructing official business. The record does not support a conclusion that the trial court failed to consider the factors in R.C. 2129.331(C)(5)(b) at sentencing. Judgment affirmed as to the conviction for failure to comply and vacated as to the conviction for obstructing official business.
