U.S. v. Johnson

Record contained sufficient evidence to support jury's guilty verdict on charge of obstruction of federal agency's investigation under 18 USC section 1512(c)(1) arising out of incident in which defendant barricaded police in front of her home for 20 minutes while police were attempting to enforce search warrant targeted for drugs, and where police subsequently heard flushing toilets in defendant's home during said 20-minute period. Ct. rejected defendant's claim that section 1512(c)(1) was limited to destruction of documents associated with white-collar crimes, and record otherwise contained sufficient evidence to show that defendant intended that her actions in destroying drug contraband would affect foreseeable official proceeding.
