State v. Baron, Unpublished Decision (3-13-1998)

Ohio Court of Appeals·Decided March 13, 1998·No. No. 97-L-065.·Unpublished

Opinion

CRIMINAL/CRIMINAL PROCEDURE:

A magistrate does not have authority to rule on a motion to suppress evidence. However, when a defendant fails to object to the referral or to file written objections to the magistrate's order pursuant to Crim.R. 19(C), the referral does not constitute reversible error.

CRIMINAL/DRUNK DRIVING:

R.C. 4511.19, which prohibits driving while under the influence of alcohol, does not distinguish between public and private property and courts have held that there is no difference.

CRIMINAL/TRAFFIC:

An officer is justified in stopping a vehicle when he witnesses the vehicle straddle the double yellow center line for a distance of approximately a half mile. At that point, the driver has violated R.C. 4511.25(C), driving left of center.
