SWEENEY, J.
First degree escape requires proof that a defendant escaped from custody while detained pursuant to a felony conviction. RCW 9A.76.110(1). Police stopped Lonnie Walls pursuant to an outstanding felony warrant. He bolted. The questions are whether he was being "detained" pursuant to a felony conviction and whether his escape was from custody. We answer yes on both counts and affirm his conviction for first degree escape.
