State v. Cranfill, Unpublished Decision (11-27-2002)
Opinion of the Court
The defendant-appellant, Dennis Cranfill, appeals from the decision of the trial court revoking his community control and imposing a sanction of one year with the Ohio Department of Corrections following his conviction for driving under the influence, a violation of R.C.
On appeal, Cranfill argues that there were insufficient facts presented at the probable-cause hearing to justify the revocation of his community control because, notwithstanding his no-contest plea, the state failed to prove that his failure to do all that was required of him was intentional or willful. We hold, however, that the trial court was entitled to reasonable infer — given Cranfill's status as an unincarcerated, legally competent adult that his actions, or inactions, were the intended product of his free will. See State v. Hutchinson (1999),
Therefore, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
Further, a certified copy of this Judgment Entry shall constitute the mandate, which shall be sent to the trial court under App.R. 27. Costs shall be taxed under App.R. 24.
