MYERS
v.
The STATE.
No. A11A1358.
Court of Appeals of Georgia.
September 14, 2011.
*773 Cook & Connelly, Rex Barron Abernathy, Summerville, Steven Alexander Miller, for appellant.
Leigh Ellen Patterson, Dist. Atty., John Anthony Tully, Asst. Dist. Atty., for appellee.
DILLARD, Judge.
Following a jury trial, Randy Thomas Myers was convicted of aggravated assault, fleeing and attempting to elude police, two counts of obstructing officers, and various traffic offenses. Myers appeals his convictions, contending that (1) the evidence was insufficient as to the aggravated-assault conviction, (2) the counts of aggravated assault and fleeing and attempting to elude were improperly and incompletely alleged in the indictment, and (3) the prosecution improperly and deliberately placed his character at issue. For the reasons noted infra, we affirm.
Viewed in the light most favorable to the jury's verdict,[1] the record shows that on August 11, 2004, Myers was the subject of a "be on the lookout" ("BOLO") issued by the United States Marshal Service, which advised law enforcement that Myers was known to be traveling in a green Chevrolet Tahoe. As a result of this BOLO, an officer with the Rome City Police Departmentwhile directing trafficspotted a green Tahoe and a driver who matched Myers's description, along with a passenger.
After the officer spotted Myers inside the Tahoe and began to approach, the vehicle pulled out of the traffic, sped directly toward the officer and then away from the scene. At trial, the officer testified that he would have been hit by the Tahoe had he not stepped out of its way and that he and another officer thereafter pursued Myers in a high-speed chase. Although the Tahoe stopped at one point during the pursuit, it sped away again as the officer exited his patrol car and began to approach the vehicle. The chase finally ended when the Tahoe veered off into rough terrain that made it impossible for the patrol cars to follow, and law enforcement subsequently found the vehicle abandoned in the woods.
The next day, police apprehended Myers's passenger (the owner of the Tahoe) in the vicinity of the same wooded area, and there was testimony that something (or someone) was heard running through the woods during the passenger's arrest. And while Myers was not located that day, he was apprehended a few days later. Thereafter, Myers was indicted and tried by a jury, which found him guilty of aggravated assault,[2] fleeing and *774 attempting to elude police,[3] two counts of obstructing an officer,[4] and various other traffic offenses. This appeal follows.
1. Myers first challenges the sufficiency of the evidence with regard to his conviction for aggravated assault,[5] contending that the State "failed to prove any intent to make an assault of [the law enforcement officer]" or "apprehension of any injury by or on the part of [the law enforcement officer]." We disagree.
At the outset, we note that after a defendant has been convicted, "we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the jury's verdict, and the defendant no longer enjoys the presumption of innocence."[6] And we "do not weigh the evidence or determine witness credibility, but only determine if the evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find the defendant guilty of the charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt."[7] So viewed, it is clear from the appellate record that the State met its burden of proof.
Myers was charged with committing aggravated assault upon a police officer based on his act of driving toward the uniformed officer as he sped away from where the officer was directing traffic. The State alleged that Myers committed the offense by using a motor vehicle as "an object likely to result in serious bodily injury."[8] But Myers disputes this charge, arguing that the evidence at trial failed to prove that the officer was actually in apprehension of a serious bodily injury and that his movement was instead merely incidental to directing traffic. The officer, however, specifically testified that he believed the vehicle would hit him and that he stepped backward to avoid being struck. Accordingly, the jury was presented with sufficient evidence to find that the officer was in apprehension of serious bodily injury[9] and, thus, to convict Myers on this charge.[10]
2. Myers next challenges the trial court's denial of his motion in arrest of judgment as to both the aggravated-assault count and the count of fleeing and attempting to elude police, arguing that they were improperly and incompletely alleged.
As to the aggravated-assault count, Myers takes issue with the indictment's failure to allege the manner in which the motor vehicle was used as a deadly weapon because motor vehicles are not, per se, deadly weapons.[11] As to the charge of fleeing and attempting *775 to elude, Myers argues that the indictment failed to allege every material element of the offense by omitting the audible-and-visual-signals element.[12] However, the trial court denied Myers's motion because it was filed over five years after judgment was entered, which Myers does not dispute was untimely because a motion in arrest of judgment "must be made during the term at which the judgment was obtained."[13] And because Myers's motion was untimely, it is not subject to appellate review.[14] Accordingly, the trial court did not err in denying Myers's motion in arrest of judgment.[15]
3. Finally, Myers contends that the State improperly, consistently, and deliberately placed his character at issue through references to his status as a fugitive. We disagree.
The State presented testimony of various law enforcement officials who explained that Myers was wanted by the United States Marshal Service on the day in question and that he was known to be driving a green Chevrolet Tahoe.[16] This information was relevant to prove that Myers had a motive for fleeing from and eluding police.[17] And "[e]vidence which is relevant to an issue in a case is not rendered inadmissible by the fact that it incidentally puts the defendant's character in issue."[18] The evidence of Myers's fugitive status was, therefore, relevant and admissible.
Accordingly, for all the foregoing reasons, we affirm Myers's convictions.
Judgment affirmed.
SMITH, P.J., and MIKELL, J., concur.

Although Myers urges this Court to do so, we will not apply the plain-error doctrine here because that doctrine is "limited to capital cases and to criminal cases in which the trial judge allegedly intimates an opinion of the defendant's guilt, in violation of OCGA § 17-8-57."

State, 277 Ga.App. 251, 255(2), 626 S.E.2d 217 (2006) (declining to apply plain-error doctrine to situation that was neither a capital case nor an opinion by the judge as to the defendant's guilt). But see Collier v. State, 288 Ga. 756, 759-66, 707 S.E.2d 102 (2011) (Nahmias, J., concurring specially) (discussing application of plain-error doctrine to review of jury charges).
