Affirmed. See C.E.L. v. State, 24 So. 3d 1181, 1186 (Fla. 2009) (“To
be guilty of unlawfully resisting an officer, an individual who flees must know
of the officer’s intent to detain him, and the officer must be justified in making
the stop at the point when the command to stop is issued.”); Perez v. State,
138 So. 3d 1098, 1101 (Fla. 1st DCA 2014) (recognizing that the surrounding
circumstances can establish an individual’s knowledge of a law enforcement
officer’s intent to detain the individual); Perry v. State, 593 So. 2d 1165,
1166-67 (Fla. 1st DCA 1992) (finding that the defendant had apparent
knowledge that the police were trying to detain him where a uniformed police
officer yelled out, “Police!”; whereupon the defendant looked directly at the
officer and ran); T.I.J. v. State, 399 So. 3d 1128, 1131-32 (Fla. 3d DCA 2024)
(observing, in a case charging a juvenile with committing the offense of
resisting an officer without violence, that the trial court’s denial of a motion
for judgment of dismissal is proper where the State presents sufficient
evidence to establish a prima facie case that the juvenile committed the
offense).
