¶1Defendant was tried before a jury and found guilty of obstruction of a law enforcement officer in violation of OCGA § 16-10-24 (a). This appeal followed the denial of defendant’s motion for new trial. Held:
¶2In four enumerations of error, defendant asserts that evidence of his threatening, abusive and profane language in the presence of law *646enforcement officers is insufficient to support his conviction for obstruction of a law enforcement officer. This argument is without merit.
¶3The obstruction of a law enforcement officer charge was not leveled against defendant because of his threatening, abusive and profane language in the presence of law enforcement officers. Defendant was charged with obstruction of a law enforcement officer because he resisted arrest for violating a city ordinance. To this extent, law enforcement officers testified that defendant violently resisted arrest for violating a city ordinance against disorderly conduct. This testimony is sufficient to authorize the jury’s finding that defendant is guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, of obstruction of a law enforcement officer in violation of OCGA § 16-10-24 (a). Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979); Whaley v. State, 175 Ga. App. 493, 494-495 (333 SE2d 691). Accordingly, the trial court did not err in denying defendant’s motion for directed verdict of acquittal.
¶4Judgment affirmed.
