About This Booking Record

Having Weapons While Under Disability

Having weapons while under disability (Ohio Revised Code §2923.13) prohibits certain persons — such as those with particular prior convictions — from possessing firearms or dangerous ordnance. It is a felony.

Domestic Violence

Domestic violence (Ohio Revised Code §2919.25) involves knowingly or recklessly causing or threatening physical harm to a family or household member. A first offense is generally a first-degree misdemeanor, with the degree increasing for prior offenses.

OVI / Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence

OVI (Operating a Vehicle Under the Influence), Ohio Revised Code §4511.19, makes it illegal to operate a vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. A first offense is a first-degree misdemeanor generally carrying three days to six months in jail, fines of roughly $565–$1,075, and a license suspension of one to three years. Penalties increase with high blood-alcohol readings or prior offenses; repeat OVIs can become felonies.

Obstructing Official Business / Justice

Obstructing official business (Ohio Revised Code §2921.31) and obstructing justice (§2921.32) involve acts that hamper a public official’s duties or help another avoid arrest or prosecution. Penalties range from misdemeanor to felony depending on the circumstances.
