N.C.P.I.—Crim. 230.30

The defendant has been charged with willfully and unlawfully [resisting]

[delaying] [obstructing] a public officer in [discharging] [attempting to

discharge] an official duty.

Now I charge that for you to find the defendant guilty of this offense the

State must prove five things beyond a reasonable doubt.

First, that the alleged victim was a public officer. A (state alleged

victim's title, e.g., highway patrolman, building inspector, probation officer) is

a public officer.

Second, that the defendant knew or had reasonable grounds to believe

that the alleged victim was a public officer.

Third, that the alleged victim was [discharging] [attempting to

discharge] an official duty. (Describe what alleged victim was doing, e.g.,

directing traffic, inspecting wiring, making a home visit), is an official duty of

a (state alleged victim's title, e.g., highway patrolman, building inspector,

probation officer).1

Fourth, that the defendant [resisted] [delayed] [obstructed] the alleged

victim in [discharging] [attempting to discharge] an official duty.

And Fifth, that the defendant acted willfully and unlawfully, that is

intentionally2 (and without justification or excuse).3

So I charge that if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt

that on or about the alleged date the alleged victim was a public officer, that

the defendant knew or had reasonable grounds to believe the alleged victim

was a public officer, that the alleged victim was [discharging] [attempting to

discharge] an official duty, and that the defendant willfully and unlawfully

[resisted] [delayed] [obstructed] the alleged victim in [discharging]

[attempting to discharge] an official duty, it would be your duty to return a

verdict of guilty. However, if you do not so find or have a reasonable doubt as

to one or more of these things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not

guilty.
