People v. Godbold
Opinion of the Court
—Judgment unanimously affirmed. Memorandum: We reject the contention that the proof is legally insufficient to sustain defendant’s conviction. Defendant, appearing upset, approached Officer Freeland, who was administering sobriety tests to defendant’s friend. Another officer, providing security for Freeland, directed defendant to stop, but defendant pushed past that officer toward Freeland. That conduct is sufficient to constitute physical interference and obstruction of the official duties being performed by the officers (see, People v Tarver, 188 AD2d 938, lv denied 81 NY2d 893). Additionally, the testimony of
We have reviewed the remaining contentions of defendant and conclude that they are without merit. (Appeal from Judgment of Wayne County Court, Sirkin, J.—Assault, 2nd Degree.) Present—Balio, J. P., Lawton, Wesley, Doerr and Davis, JJ.
