State v. Barger

In State v. Barger, Cuyahoga App. No. 89646, 2008 Ohio 1079, the court held there was sufficient evidence that the defendant knew drugs were on his property even though the defendant maintained he did not know what the suspicious contents were inside a metal box he found in his garage. The court held that the fact that the defendant thought it was suspicious indicated he was aware the contents were probably illegal, thereby satisfying the "knowingly" element of the drug possession charge.
