JUDICIAL DECISIONS Evidence sufficient for purposes of juvenile delinquency adjudication. - Evidence sufficiently supported a juvenile defendant’s adjudication of delinquency based upon obstruction of a law enforcement officer in violation of O.C.G.A. § 1610-24(a) as the officer was in the lawful discharge of official duties when the officer asked the juvenile to stop in order to

investigate the possibility of truancy pursuant to O.C.G.A. §§ 20-2-698 and 20-2699; the juvenile’s actions in running away despite the officer’s command to stop gave the officer further reasonable suspicion that the juvenile was involved in illegal activity.
