Juveniles – delinquency — felony battery

Dylan T. W. was adjudicated delinquent for felony battery to a school district officer after he pushed a whiteboard into the teacher and then injured the same teacher with a door. Both incidents occurred while he was trying to leave a classroom. He claims that the evidence was insufficient to support the adjudication because it shows that Dylan acted with intent to leave the classroom rather than intent to cause bodily harm to the teacher. The State argues that Dylan’s actions—pushing a whiteboard when someone is nearby and pulling a door open forcefully while someone is in its path—support the trial court’s conclusion that Dylan had the requisite intent because he was aware that his actions were practically certain to cause bodily harm. We agree with the State and affirm. This opinion will not be published.
