4 later decisions quote this exact passage“R.C. Chapter 2921 also has two additional requirements not found in R.C. Chapter 913: (1) that the thief be a public official and (2) that he use his office to commit or facilitate commission of that theft or that the property or services involved be owned by the government. R.C. 2921.41(A). Thus, while thievery is regulated by both chapters, R.C. Chapter 2921 adds these requirements in order to serve a separate purpose - more stringent punishment of, and protection of the public from, those who abuse and corrupt public offices.”
