In State v. Lloyd (1998), 126 Ohio App.3d 95, 100, 709 N.E.2d 913, the court stated that "our standard of review with respect to motions to suppress is whether the trial court's findings are supported by competent, credible evidence." This is the appropriate standard because "in a hearing on a motion to suppress evidence, the trial court assumes the role of trier of facts and is in the best position to resolve questions of fact and evaluate the credibility of witnesses." State v. Hopfer (1996), 112 Ohio App.3d 521, 548, 679 N.E.2d 321. However, once we accept those facts as true, the Court must independently determine, as a matter of law and without deference to the trial court's conclusion, whether the trial court met the applicable legal standard.
