Syllabus

Appellant's conviction of failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer was not against the manifest weight of the evidence; he willfully fled in his vehicle after ignoring officers' multiple audible and visual signals to stop. Neither plain error nor ineffective assistance of counsel is demonstrated in defense counsel's failure to request jury instructions on self-defense, duress, and/or necessity or in counsel's failure to obtain an allegedly threatening text message from appellant's wife to him to corroborate his asserted belief that the police sought to kill him. Judgment affirmed.
