A Gwinnett County jury found Gaylord Andrew Glenn guilty of felony obstruction or hindering of a law enforcement officer OCGA § 16-10-24 b. Glenn appeals from the denial of his motion for new trial. Finding no error, we affirm. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict,1 the evidence shows that on July 21, 2001, Gwinnett County Police Officer David Brucz observed Glenn driving erratically out of the Checker’s parking lot by making an improper right hand turn onto Jimmy Carter Boulevard going over three lanes of traffic. Officer Brucz followed Glenn. Glenn made a legal U-turn on Jimmy Carter Boulevard at the first intersection and proceeded in the opposite direction on Jimmy Carter Boulevard. Officer Brucz testified that he stayed behind Glenn’s vehicle. When Glenn reached the intersection of Singleton Road, he made a right hand turn without using his turn signal. Based on the traffic offenses he had observed, Officer Brucz decided to stop Glenn and activated his blue lights.

When Glenn failed to stop, Officer Brucz testified that he activated his siren. Glenn still refused to stop, even though there were numerous places for him to pull off the road. Officer Brucz testified that it appeared to him that Glenn increased the speed of his vehicle after he initiated the siren. When Glenn reached the apartment complex where he lived, he parked in a parking space, exited his car, and began walking away from Officer Brucz toward the apartment building. Officer Brucz ordered Glenn to stop several times, with no response from Glenn. Finally, Glenn turned around and stated that he did not have to listen to the officer. Officer Brucz ordered Glenn to get back inside his car, to which Glenn responded with obscenities and stated that the officer would have to make him.
