“at most, [the defendant] might be charged with knowing that drugs were on his person when officers conveyed him to jail. However, * * * the law will not punish for a guilty mind alone. Because [the defendant's] conduct with respect to the R.C. 2921.36 (A)(2) violation with which he was charged cannot satisfy the requirement for criminal liability that R.C. 2901.22 (A)(1) imposes, the trial court erred when it denied defendant-appellant Sowry's Crim. R. 29 motion for acquittal.”
