OPINION
GREENWOOD, Presiding Judge:
{1 Defendant appeals his conviction of Interference with a Peace Officer in violation of Utah Code Ann. § 76-8-805, arguing that a person cannot interfere unless an officer is seeking to make a lawful arrest or detention. Defendant argues that either the gang members were not detained or, in the alternative, if they were detained, the detention was not lawful. Thus, defendant claims under either theory that he was not interfering with a lawful arrest or detention as required by the statute. We affirm.
