Minnesota Supreme Court · Decided December 28, 1979 · Otis

287 N.W.2d 645; 1979 Minn. LEXIS 1789 (North Western Reporter, Second Series)

Counsel

C. Paul Jones, Public Defender and Phebe S. Haugen, Sp. Asst. Public Defender, Minneapolis, for appellant., Warren Spannaus, Atty. Gen., St. Paul, Tom W. Foley, County Atty. and Steven C. DeCoster, Asst. County Atty., St. Paul, for respondent.

Opinion of the Court

OTIS, Justice.

Defendant appeals from a conviction for aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon in violation of Minn.Stat. §§ 609.-22(1) .225, subd. 2 (1978) resulting from his attempt to run down a police officer at a roadblock.

The only errors asserted are that “intent to cause fear” was not proven, and that the court abused its discretion in denying defendant a continuance for medical treatment. We find no merit in either of these contentions and therefore affirm.

Affirmed.
