State v. Page, 2016 Ohio 7326

Jordan H. Page pled guilty in Champaign County (April 17, 2012) to one count each of breaking and entering, safecracking, and theft; remaining counts were dismissed.
The trial court sentenced Page to three years of community control, required program completion, fines, and restitution (June 25, 2012).
Page’s community control was suspended and later extended; while under supervision he tested positive for marijuana in Franklin County and that court revoked his community control and imposed a sentence.
Champaign County filed a supervision-violation notice (July 15, 2015); after a revocation hearing (Aug. 7, 2015) Champaign County revoked Page’s community control and sentenced him to 17 months in jail, to be served concurrently with the Franklin County sentence.
Appointed appellate counsel filed an Anders brief concluding the appeal is frivolous and moved to withdraw; the court independently reviewed the record and affirmed the revocation and sentence.
