People v. Verwayne

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department
Nov 30, 1992
187 A.D.2d 743 (N.Y. App. Div. 1992)

Opinion

November 30, 1992

Appeal from the Supreme Court, Queens County (Clabby, J.).


Ordered that the judgment is affirmed.

Viewing the evidence in the light most favorable to the People (see, People v Contes, 60 N.Y.2d 620), we find that it was legally sufficient to establish the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Moreover, upon the exercise of our factual review power, we are satisfied that the verdict of guilt was not against the weight of the evidence (see, CPL 470.15).

Further, since the arresting officer had probable cause to arrest the defendant for disorderly conduct (see, People v Galpern, 259 N.Y. 279; People v Todaro, 26 N.Y.2d 325; Matter of Leonard D., 185 A.D.2d 315), the arrest was authorized. Therefore, the defendant's conviction for resisting arrest was proper (see, Matter of Leonard D., supra; Matter of Charles M., 143 A.D.2d 96). Sullivan, J.P., Lawrence, Miller and O'Brien, JJ., concur.
