Illinois Appellate Court
Criminal Court
Obstruction of Justice
Defendant was convicted, after jury trial, of resisting or obstructing peace officer. Defendant refused to give officer, who was working as school resource office in school parking lot, her driver's license and insurance card when he stopped her vehicle for blocking traffic while parked to pick up her son at high school. Evidence was sufficient for the jury to conclude that Defendant repeatedly refused officer's direction to exit her vehicle, so that officer's safety was at risk. (HUDSON and BIRKETT, concurring.)
