1Opinion of the Court

*629¶1 Scott Yonker appeals his conviction for attempting to elude a pursuing police vehicle. Yonker claims error at trial because (1) the judicial assistant took the jury to lunch just before it returned a verdict, (2) the trial court instructed the jury to continue deliberating even though the jury said it was deadlocked, (3) the trial court changed the jury instructions after two days of deliberation, and (4) the evidence was not sufficient to support the verdict. We affirm.
