State v. Waiters

Mary J. Boyle, Presiding Judge.

{¶ 1} Defendant-appellant, Charles Waiters, appeals the amount of restitution the trial court ordered him to pay as part of his sentence. Waiters raises two issues on appeal:

{¶ 2} “[1.] The trial court erred when it imposed a $14,674.23 restitution order without an adequate evidentiary basis for the amount imposed.

{¶ 3} “[2.] The trial court erred in failing to hold an adequate restitution hearing when the defendant disputed the amount.”

{¶ 4} Finding merit to his appeal, we reverse and remand for an evidentiary hearing on the amount of restitution.
