DUBOFSKY, Justice.
We granted certiorari to review the judgment of the Arapahoe County District Court reversing the municipal court conviction of the defendant, John Hammes, of “interfering with an officer” under City of Englewood (Englewood) Municipal Ordinance 11-6-15. 1 The district court determined that the ordinance was unconstitutional.
