    Ohio courts also recognize that the community-caretaker exception to the Fourth Amendment's warrant requirement may justify seizure of a person. E.g., State v. Dunn, 131 Ohio St.3d 325, 964 N.E.2d 1037, 2012–Ohio–1008 (2012) (applying exception to police seizure of suicidal man); State v. Engle, No. 25226, 2013–Ohio–1818, 2013 WL 1870544 (Ohio Ct.App. May 3, 2013) (community-caretaking function justified seizure of injured, bleeding man to determine need for immediate medical attention). Furthermore, in United States v. Garner, 416 F.3d 1208 (10th Cir.2005), a police officer responded to reports of a man seen unconscious and slumped over.
