In re D.M.
After a series of delinquency petitions filed against defendant were sustained, he was charged in a separate delinquency proceeding (Welf. & Inst. Code, 602) with two misdemeanor counts of resisting or obstructing a peace officer (Pen. Code, 148, subd. (a)).[1] After a contested jurisdictional hearing the court found that appellant committed the offenses as charged in the petition. In this appeal he claims that the evidence fails to show the officers were lawfully engaged in the performance of their duties. Court conclude that the officers commenced a detention of defendant without lawful grounds, and therefore reverse the judgment.
