J. A. C. appeals from an adjudication of delinquency based on his commission of an aggravated assault. J. A. C. argues that the evidence is insufficient to support the juvenile court’s finding of delinquency and its imposition of restrictive custody. We affirm. On appeal from an order of delinquency, we determine whether a rational trier of fact could have found from the evidence presented that the juvenile committed the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979; In the Interest of R. A. W. , 197 Ga. App. 225 398 SE2d 261 1990. We construe the evidence in favor of the trial court’s findings, leaving the credibility of witnesses and the resolution of conflicts in the evidence to the trial court. In the Interest of R. A. W. , 197 Ga. App. at 225.

So viewed, the record shows that on January 19, 2007, J. A. C.’s mother called the Washington County sheriff’s office and requested that a deputy be sent to her home to assist her in dealing with her son. When Deputy Sheriff Daniel Douglass arrived, the mother told the deputy that in the course of a family argument over J. A. C.’s failure to wash some dishes, J. A. C. had pushed his sister to the ground. The mother also told Douglass that she wanted her son removed from the house. Douglass contacted the Department of Juvenile Justice, which recommended that he get a relative to take J. A. C. for the weekend. Douglass then told J. A. C. to call a relative to come pick him up.
