By John Wesley Hall, Jr.

Freezing defendant's home until a search warrant could be obtained was justified by probable cause and fear that the house might be accessed and dispose of the drugs. State v. Prater, 2008 Ohio 6730, 2008 Ohio App. LEXIS 5625 (2d Dist.

Rippy, 2008 Ohio 6680, 2008 Ohio App. LEXIS 5562 (10th Dist. December 18, 2008).*
