Parties' Submissions

• Defendant-Appellant: Argued that the evidence was insufficient to support her convictions for speeding, resisting, and concealing identity.

• Plaintiff-Appellee: Maintained that there was sufficient evidence to support the Defendant's convictions. The State relied on the officer's testimony about the Defendant's speed, her noncompliance during the arrest, and her refusal to reveal her identity.

Legal Issues

Disposition

• The Court of Appeals affirmed the Defendant's convictions for speeding, resisting, and concealing identity.

Reasons

• Per HANISEE, Chief Judge (BOGARDUS, Judge and YOHALEM, Judge concurring):
  The Court found substantial evidence supporting the Defendant's convictions, viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the guilty verdict and indulging all reasonable inferences in favor of the verdict (paras 2-3). The officer's testimony about observing the Defendant speeding through a construction zone, his description of the posted speed limit, and the Defendant's speed were deemed sufficient evidence for the speeding conviction. The Court also found credible the officer's testimony regarding the Defendant's resistance and refusal to reveal her identity, which supported the convictions for resisting and concealing identity (para 4).
  Regarding the legal challenges to the sufficiency of evidence, the Court concluded that the State presented sufficient evidence to support each element of the convictions as set forth in the municipal ordinances (para 3).
  The Court also addressed the Defendant's challenges to the legality of the stop and arrest, concluding that the facts established reasonable suspicion for the stop and probable cause for the arrest based on the Defendant's actions (para 5).
