App., June 20, 2012).*<\/p>\n<p>Defendant was detained in the police car for five minutes while a DL check was run, and this did not violate the Fourth Amendment. Defendant\u2019s unMirandized admissions of consumption of beer made then were admissible. While a pat-down search was conducted prior to defendant&#8217;s statements, this search did not convert this routine traffic stop into a custodial situation as the search was nominally consensual, it was concluded in a few seconds, and nothing was found during the search. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sconet.state.oh.us\/rod\/docs\/pdf\/11\/2012\/2012-ohio-1456.pdf\">State v.
