North Dakota Supreme Court

State v. Landsberger

June 5, 20252025 ND 108

Summary

The court affirmed Landsberger's conviction for providing false information to a law enforcement officer. It held that the jury instructions, considered as a whole, accurately stated the statutory elements and did not need to require proof that the information actually interfered with an investigation or materially misled an officer. The court also rejected Landsberger's reliance on prior precedent because the evidence here concerned false information provided to a particular officer in connection with a purported child-neglect investigation.
