An Indianapolis man lost his criminal appeal Tuesday, but the Indiana Court of Appeals ordered the trial court to correct
an abstract of judgment that incorrectly recorded a felony conviction.
In Jamar Washington v. State of Indiana, 49A02-1202-CR-79, the court found no errors in Washington’s
convictions of Class D felony battery, Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement and Class B misdemeanor disorderly conduct
that arose from a domestic dispute outside a downtown nightclub in May 2011.
“Although we affirm Washington’s convictions, the State concedes that the trial court made a clerical error on
the abstract of judgment. It states that Washington was convicted of Class D felony resisting law enforcement. The actual
judgment of conviction, however, states that Washington was convicted of Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement,”
Judge Michael Barnes wrote for the unanimous panel.
“We therefore remand for the trial court to enter a corrected abstract of judgment accurately reflecting that Washington
was convicted of Class A misdemeanor resisting law enforcement.”
