Despite the defendant's challenge to the sufficiency of the evidence, specifically, that no evidence showed the malice element of a cruelty-to-children offense, and that the evidence failed to show the defendant harmed the police officer to support an obstruction offense, convictions on those offenses were upheld on appeal as: (1) the severity of the bite marks inflicted on the child victim allowed the court to infer malice; (2) actual harm to the officer was not an essential element of an obstruction charge; and (3) the defendant's act of swinging at the officer's face during an effort to resist arrest supported an obstruction.

Freeman, F.3d (11th Cir. Mackey v. State, 296 Ga. App. - Juvenile's adjudications on the charges of loitering and obstruction of an officer arising out of the July 18 incident were reversed for failure to prove venue because, although the officer testified that the officer observed two individuals loitering outside the apartment complex, the officer never testified that the complex was in Spalding County or that the officer's pursuit of the juvenile occurred there; the state presented no other evidence of venue, and nothing in the record indicated that the trial court took judicial notice of the location of the apartment complex; and defense counsel's statements were not intended to be a stipulation of venue or that the juvenile authorized a stipulation as to venue. - After the officer arrived at the scene and tried for two to three minutes to persuade the defendant to calm down, but the defendant persisted in defendant's verbal barrage of obscenities and insults addressed to defendant's spouse and the police, it was this interference with the officer's attempt to maintain the peace that formed the basis for the officer's ultimate decision to arrest the defendant for misdemeanor obstruction, and the fact that the officer delayed the officer's decision until the defendant retreated to the apartment, and continued to disrupt the peace (eventually producing a crowd of 60 to 80 onlookers) did not detract from the propriety of that basis for arrest. 362, 532 S.E.2d 481 (2000).

Smith v. State, 311 Ga. App. Further, there was no arguable probable cause to arrest the plaintiff. After an arrestee refused a deputy's order to turn around and pushed away from the deputy, the arrestee's excessive force claim failed because, inter alia, the arrestee was uncooperative, a video showed the close contact and the escalating nature of the incident, and the arrestee's refusal to comply with the deputy's instructions was, at least, misdemeanor obstruction.

Evidence that the defendant failed to comply with the officers' request that the defendant answer the door was sufficient to support the defendant's conviction for misdemeanor obstruction. Whether or not the evidence established that actions taken by the defendant hindered or obstructed the officer in making the arrest is for the jury to decide. 230, 656 S.E.2d 873 (2008); Sillah v. State, 291 Ga. App. 16-10-24. denied, 568 U.S. 956, 133 S. Ct. 460, 184 L.

City of Plains, 152 Ga. App. - 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. - Legislature clearly intended former Code 1933, 26-2505 (see now O.C.G.A.

App. - Evidence that the defendant's creation of a fake Facebook account after the child was reported missing resulted in three investigators wasting twelve hours looking in the wrong direction for the juvenile and hindered law enforcement's ability to track the child's possible whereabouts for about six hours was sufficient to support the defendant's conviction for obstruction of justice. 155, 84 S.E.

App. 346, 606 S.E.2d 869 (2004), are disapproved to the extent that these cases imply that misdemeanor obstruction still requires proof of forcible resistance or threats of violence. - Trial court did not improperly increase the defendant's sentence because, although the trial court orally declared that the defendant would serve two concurrent 12-month sentences for the battery and obstruction convictions, and the defendant was taken into custody immediately, on the same day, before the defendant was taken into custody and began to serve the defendant's sentence, the trial court signed a written sentence stating that the defendant would serve two consecutive 12-month sentences for the two convictions. 219, 653 S.E.2d 810 (2007). 209, 294 S.E.2d 305 (1982). 16-10-24 (a) describes the elements of misdemeanor obstruction of a law enforcement officer, whereas 16-10-24 (b) covers the felony elements.

State, 244 Ga. App. In the prosecution on charges of interference with government property and obstruction of a law enforcement officer, the trial court did not err in admitting evidence of the defendant's 1993 interference with government property conviction; a new trial was properly denied because the evidence was properly admitted, not as substantive evidence of the offense at issue, but only as to the issue of credibility, providing support for admission of the evidence. 538, 623 S.E.2d 727 (2005).
