Description

After a trial to the court, appellant Curtis Simmons was convicted of felony assault on a police officer in violation of Â§ 6-5-204(b), W.S. 1977 (June 1983 Replacement). That statute prohibits the infliction of bodily injury on a peace officer while that officer is engaged in the "lawful performance of his official duties." Appellant argues on appeal that his conviction should be reversed because the peace officer whom he injured was conducting an illegal arrest and, thus, not engaged in the lawful performance of his official duties. We affirm.
