Opinion by

JUDGE BERNARD

T1 In Colorado, a person commits the crime of second degree burglary if that person illegally enters the dwelling of another with the intent to commit therein a crime against another person or property. § 18-4-203(1), C.R.S.2012. This appeal presents the issue whether the crime of obstructing a peace officer, § 18-8-104(1)(a), C.R.S.201%, qualifies as a crime against another person or property. We conclude that, under the cireumstances here, it does not. As a result, we reverse and vacate the conviction and sentence of defendant, Craig Lamonte Poin-dexter, for burglary.
