P. v. Greenwood
A jury found Sandra Greenwood guilty of battery on a police officer with injury, resisting arrest, and being under the influence of a controlled substance. (Pen. Code, 243, subd. (c)(2), 148, subd. (a)(1); Health & Saf. Code, 11550, subd. (a).) The court sentenced Greenwood to three years of probation on the battery conviction and a 180 day concurrent jail term on the two remaining counts.
On appeal, Greenwood contends there was insufficient evidence to show the deputy sheriff was acting in the lawful performance of his duties, which is a necessary element to support the battery and resisting arrest convictions. Court reject this contention and affirm.
