A.P. v. State
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided June 14, 2000 · Fletcher, Schwartz, Sorondo
760 So. 2d 1010; 2000 Fla. App. LEXIS 7201; 2000 WL 763321 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

A.P. v. State

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

While being investigated as a possible runaway, the juvenile respondent gave a false last name to the interrogating police officer, thus requiring further inquiry to ascertain her identity. We conclude that these facts justify the finding that she was guilty of resisting an officer without violence, notwithstanding that she told the officer her correct name after he had already discovered it. § 843.02, Fla. Stat. (1999); In re J.H., 559 So.2d 702 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990).

Affirmed.
