OH2: Heroin gel caps found by plain feel

Defendant was fully cooperative and the officer was not overbearing, so the consent was voluntary. Heroin in gel caps was found by plain feel. State v. Mabry, 2015-Ohio-4513, 2015 Ohio App. LEXIS 4400 (2d Dist. Oct. 30, 2015).

Officers were at defendant’s house on a domestic disturbance call, and she quickly became obnoxious and yelling at the officers. Their entry onto her porch to de-escalate the situation but ultimately arresting her was reasonable. Jardines does not apply. State v. Willey, 2015-Ohio-4572, 2015 Ohio App. LEXIS 4456 (5th Dist. Nov. 2, 2015).

The court decides this DUI case on the improper admission of a prior conviction within 20 years and refusing to answer any other question [including the probable cause for the FST and BAC test, essentially leaving that for the second appeal and wasting everybody’s time because the trial court is obligated to follow its prior rulings as law of the case; how lazy is that?]. State v. Baird, 2015-Ohio-4539, 2015 Ohio App. LEXIS 4427 (11th Dist. Nov. 2, 2015).*
