On September 17, 2015, a petition was filed pursuant to Welfare and Institutions Code section 602, alleging that defendant and appellant T.W., a minor, resisted a peace officer in violation of Penal Code section 148, subdivision (a)(1).2 The juvenile court sustained the petition following an adjudicatory hearing and ordered T.W. suitably placed with a maximum period of confinement of three years, six months.3 T.W. contends the evidence is insufficient to support the juvenile court’s finding that he delayed a police officer in the discharge of his duties, claiming there was no evidence that he knew the arresting officer was attempting to stop him. We affirm.
