How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that defendant’s intentional misrepresentation of his identity to police officers is sufficient to establish criminal impersonation
  • concluding that to establish the offense of criminal impersonation, the State need show only that the accused intended to misrepresent his true identity to the arresting officer
  • noting that the only difference between theft of a vehicle and unauthorized use of a vehicle is the defendant’s intent
  • holding failure to charge lesser-included offenses is subject to plain error review
  • joyriding is a lesser-included offense of theft as the sole variation between the offenses is the offender's intent
  • affirming conviction despite voluntary intoxication in part because the defendant “did not appear to have difficulty answering questions and there was nothing about his condition that indicated he was intoxicated”
