Description

The sufficiency of the evidence is not challenged; therefore, only a brief version of the facts is necessary. The evidence reflects that Deputy Constable Mike Mason had an outstanding arrest warrant for one Robert Johnson, Jr. On July 1, 1975, Mason located appellant at his place of employment, identified himself as a peace officer, and informed appellant that he had a warrant for his arrest. Appellant became agitated and made an unsuccessful attempt to show Mason that he was not the person named in the warrant. Appellant refused to go with Mason in response to the warrant, so Mason attempted to handcuff him. Appellant resisted the arrest, and a five to ten minute struggle ensued during which Mason received a blow to the face and a cut on his hand. Appellant denied striking the officer and testified that he had been jumped by five police officers without just cause. The jury rejected appellants defense.
