Obstructing an officer — sufficiency of the complaint

Mark A. Gierczak appeals a judgment of conviction and an order denying his motion for postconviction relief on the ground that he did not knowingly obstruct an “officer” within the meaning of Wis. Stat. § 946.41(2)(b). For the reasons we explain below, we conclude that there is a sufficient factual basis to support Gierczak’s no contest plea to obstructing an officer. Accordingly, we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
