holding that appellant attempted to cause bodily injury to police officer who was arresting him when he flailed his arms and struck the officer repeatedly
concluding that defendant’s action of throwing a police officer to the ground and striking the officer on the arm and mouth was sufficient to support conviction under section 2707(a)(3)
concluding weight challenge did not shock one’s conscience where fact-finder found eyewitness identification of defendant as perpetrator to be credible
noting that “[t]he plurality in McCree favored the “Baker/Rodriguez standard . . . allow[ing] warrantless searches where officers” have no particular knowledge regarding the subject vehicle
holding evidence was sufficient to establish the attempt to cause bodily injury to a police officer where Brown flailed his arms, repeatedly striking the officer on the arm, shoulder, and mouth
assessing an argument that a witness’ identification of the defendant “was tainted and unreliable” as a challenge to the weight of the evidence
