ORDER
PER CURIAM:
Following a jury trial in the Circuit Court of Pettis County, Ryan Hefley was convicted of two class E felonies: resisting arrest in violation of § 575.150, RSMo ; and unlawful presence, as a previously convicted sex offender, in a public park with playground equipment or a public swimming pool in violation of § 566.150, RSMo. Hefley appeals. First, he argues that there was insufficient evidence to support his conviction for resisting arrest, because the evidence does not prove that he knew that he was being arrested when he fled from a police officer. Second, he argues that there was insufficient evidence to support his unlawful-presence conviction, because the evidence failed to prove that he knew that playground equipment was located in the park where he was found. Finally, Hefley argues that there was insufficient evidence to prove that the place where he was found was a public park. We affirm. Because a published opinion would have no precedential value, we have provided an unpublished memorandum to the parties which sets forth the reasons for this order. Rule 30.25(b).
