Is there any evidence that defendant fled the police?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Armitage, C085430 (Cal. App. 2019):

First, defendant's claim that there is no evidence he fled police is belied by the record. Officer Wilhite, the only witness at the suppression hearing, testified regarding defendant's actions, including his flight. Thus, substantial evidence supports the trial court's finding defendant fled the police and we defer to that express factual finding. (Robey v. Superior Court, supra, 56 Cal.4th at p. 1223.)
