State, 214 Ga. App. Arnold v. State, 249 Ga.

Rev. 362, 532 S.E.2d 481 (2000). 365, 829 S.E.2d 433 (2019). 16-10-24. 739, 218 S.E.2d 905 (1975). O.C.G.A. Smith v. State, 258 Ga. App. Reed v. State, 205 Ga. App. WebOverview, and CRS Rept.

Draper v. Reynolds, 369 F.3d 1270 (11th Cir. - Inmate's obstruction of a correctional officer conviction was upheld on appeal, based on sufficient evidence describing how the officer was attacked and the extent of the officer's injuries suffered at the hand of the inmate, and testimony from one of the officer's responding to the altercation describing the altercation; hence, the evidence sufficiently supported the jury's rejection of the inmate's self-defense claim. Given the evidence of the defendant's effort to resist law enforcement officers, which hindered the officers in carrying out the officers' duties, the defendant's misdemeanor obstruction of a law enforcement officer convictions were upheld on appeal as supported by sufficient evidence. An officer testified that the officers at the scene were in a patrol or police car, and the defendant testified that a caller summoned "the law" and that the defendant saw a police car come up. 509, 411 S.E.2d 552 (1991); Hendrix v. State, 202 Ga. App. Evidence was legally sufficient to support the five convictions against defendant for obstruction of a law enforcement officer as it showed defendant twice obstructed officers by fleeing, twice obstructed officers by offering to do violence to their persons, and once obstructed an officer by doing violence to the officer, all while committing crimes during a six-week period. 688, 710 S.E.2d 884 (2011). 731, 618 S.E.2d 607 (2005).

McDaniel, 760 F. Supp. Since the evidence showed completion of the greater offense of felony obstruction, the trial court did not err in failing to charge on misdemeanor obstruction as a lesser included offense.

Whaley v. State, 175 Ga. App. 16-10-24. 774, 525 S.E.2d 154 (1999), overruled on other grounds by McClure v. State, 306 Ga. 856, 834 S.E.2d 96 (2019). 218, 507 S.E.2d 13 (1998); Pinchon v.

White v. State, 310 Ga. App. 866, 589 S.E.2d 631 (2003). Frequan Ladez Dison, 724 Fifth St. WebArticle 2 - OBSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION AND RELATED OFFENSES 16-10-24 - Obstructing or hindering law enforcement officers. - Trial court did not abuse the court's discretion in limiting the recharge of the jury to the statutory definition of "obstruction" rather than giving a more comprehensive instruction as there was no indication that the jury was confused or left with an erroneous impression of the law. 89 (2017). 16-10-24(a); lying with the intent of misdirecting an officer as to the performance of the officer's official duties can certainly constitute a hindrance and authorize a conviction under that subsection. Because: (1) the trial court did not err in admitting certain identification evidence alleged to be hearsay, as testimony relative to the identification was not offered for the truth of the matter asserted; (2) the defendant's requested instruction was not tailored to the facts and was potentially confusing; and (3) the defendant's character was not placed in issue, convictions of armed robbery, hijacking a motor vehicle, and obstruction were all upheld. When the defendant refused to answer an officer's questions and instead exercised the right to walk away, the officer lacked probable cause to justify an arrest for obstruction, even after the defendant began running because the defendant had the right to avoid the first-tier police-citizen encounter. Because the testimony from the deputy named in the challenged count charging the defendant with felony obstruction testified that the defendant was making a scene, hollering, cussing, carrying on, kicking, screaming, resisting arrest, pulling away, and attempting to kick someone in the crowd, which was confirmed by the testimony of a second deputy, sufficient evidence was presented to support the felony obstruction charge. Green v. State, 339 Ga. App. Dudley v. State, 264 Ga. App. - Trial court properly denied the defendant's motion to suppress the contraband found on the defendant's person as a result of a traffic stop that came to fruition after an officer observed the defendant making a U-turn in front of a recently robbed bank because the defendant admitted to having a knife in the defendant's pocket but refused to remove the defendant's hand therefrom. 374, 226 S.E.2d 471 (1976). 24-4-8 (see now O.C.G.A. - Counts of felony obstruction of an officer and misdemeanor obstruction of an officer did not merge; with regard to the felony, the defendant struck and kicked one officer, and with regard to the misdemeanor, the defendant refused to comply with the commands of a second officer. - Evidence that defendant repeatedly exited defendant's vehicle against the officer's orders to remain seated in the vehicle was sufficient to sustain defendant's conviction for misdemeanor obstruction. Defendant's conviction of misdemeanor obstruction of a law enforcement officer was supported by sufficient evidence as defendant fled when an officer first attempted to place defendant under arrest. These are the most common examples of obstructing an officer. If you do these things intentionally, you will get different types of penalties. The maximum penalty for resisting or obstructing an officer without any physical harm or medical emergencies is around a $5000 fine or one-year imprisonment, or both. 329, 465 S.E.2d 511 (1995). - Trial court properly denied the defendant's motion to suppress because undisputed facts showed that the initial stop of the vehicle on the highway ramp did not result in a seizure within the meaning of the Fourth Amendment since the defendant fled with the vehicle and, after the defendant fled from the initial stop, the officer pursued the defendant and observed the defendant commit traffic violations, speeding, running a red light, and improper lane usage, which provided a valid basis for the second stop. Evidence was sufficient to permit a rational trier of fact to find the defendant guilty of felony obstruction of a law enforcement officer in violation of O.C.G.A. Upon a second conviction for a violation of this subsection, such person shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than two years nor more than ten years.
