He had a couple seconds to react on the gravel road.¶ 3 Deputy Voss encountered Ms. Toscano's conduct also strikes us as more akin to a display of anger (Montano and Burke ) than an attempt to influence. Toscano assaulted this officer and she attempted to block his path. It seems to us that, if physically confronting an officer and yelling threats at him is not enough to show an attempt to influence, then a physical confrontation without threats is also not enough.¶ 26 We reverse the conviction for intimidating a public servant and affirm the convictions for assault.¶ 27 I concur with the majority except for its holding that the facts do not support the conviction of intimidating a public servant.

We conclude that a jury could have inferred the necessary intent from the State's showing here. Toscano first turned her car into the middle of a gravel road and toward Deputy Voss's patrol car and refused to yield. Toscano then “darted” into the intersection with her high beams on “like she was going to hit” Deputy Voss.
