1. ““In the light of the foregoing, it is clear that appellant was never in custody. Although the desk officer demonstrated authority to detain appellant and his intent to do so, due to his physical condition he could not impose significant restraint on appellant’s ability to leave. The officer never touched appellant. In his own words, he attempted to arrest appellant — but was unable to do so. Appellant could not have been convicted under the escape statute. He was properly charged with obstructing official duty.” 8 Kan. App. 2d at 235 .”

2. ““Obstructing justice was an indictable crime at common law. The historic scope of the crime is quite broad, including almost any act that would interfer [sic] with the efficient operation of the courts. The section, which follows the former law quite closely, prohibits conduct included in the common law concept of obstructing justice.””
