Finds the trial court did not abuse its discretion in allowing the video to be shown. Reverses Delgado’s conviction for resisting law enforcement as a Class A misdemeanor. Finds the conviction violates Indiana’s protection against double jeopardy. Remands to the trial court with instructions to vacate this conviction. Reverses Delgado’s conviction for false informing as a Class A misdemeanor. Finds the state did not present sufficient evidence to support Delgado’s conviction for false informing. Remands with instructions for the trial court to vacate that conviction and enter judgment of conviction and sentence Delgado on one count of false informing as a Class B misdemeanor. Finally, finds the bad reputation & influence condition is unconstitutionally vague, and the inmate and driver’s license conditions are not reasonably related to the goals of probation. Reverses and remands with instructions for the trial court to clarify all three of these conditions with greater specificity. Attorney for appellant: James Harper. Attorneys for appellee: Attorney General Todd Rokita, Deputy Attorney General Megan Smith.
