A.P., a juvenile, Appellant, v. The STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 3D99-3065.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Third District.
    June 14, 2000.
    Bennett H. Brummer, Public Defender and Harvey J. Sepler, Assistant Public Defender, for appellant.
    Robert A. Butterworth, Attorney General and Richard L. Polin, Assistant Attorney General and Ana Cristina Lloyd, Certified Legal Intern, for appellee.
    Before SCHWARTZ, C.J., and FLETCHER and SORONDO, JJ.
   PER CURIAM.

While being investigated as a possible runaway, the juvenile respondent gave a false last name to the interrogating police officer, thus requiring further inquiry to ascertain her identity. We conclude that these facts justify the finding that she was guilty of resisting an officer without violence, notwithstanding that she told the officer her correct name after he had already discovered it. § 843.02, Fla. Stat. (1999); In re J.H., 559 So.2d 702 (Fla. 4th DCA 1990).

Affirmed.
