Kiara C. Kraus-Parr, Grand Forks, ND, for defendant and appellant. State v. Woodruff No. 20210026
[¶1] Amy Lynn Woodruff appeals from a criminal judgment entered after a jury found her guilty of preventing arrest. Woodruff argues the evidence at trial was insufficient to support her conviction, because the force required to remove Woodruff from her vehicle was not “substantial force” as required by N.D.C.C. § 12.1-08-02(1). Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the verdict, we conclude substantial evidence exists that could allow a jury to draw a reasonable inference in favor of conviction. We summarily affirm under N.D.R.App.P. 35.1(a)(3).
[¶2] Jon J. Jensen, C.J. Gerald W. VandeWalle Daniel J. Crothers Lisa Fair McEvers Jerod E. Tufte
