Walker v. State
Annotate this CaseAfter a bench trial, Defendant was convicted of resisting law enforcement and sentenced to ninety days in jail. Defendant appealed, arguing that the evidence was insufficient to sustain his conviction. In this case, Defendant refused repeated orders to lie down on the ground and aggressively advanced, with his fists clenched, to within a few feet of the police officer issuing the orders before being tased. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that Defendant's act of aggression toward the officer was sufficient to show that Defendant forcibly resisted, obstructed, or interfered with the law enforcement officer pursuant to Ind. Code 35-44.1-3-1(a)(1).
