Some resisting an officer arrest examples include:
- A person is being handcuffed and he pulls his arm away
- A person touching an officer in any way during an investigation
- A person who is running from police when they are seeking to ask him about an investigation even if he is not a suspect in a crime
- A person involved in a domestic violence matter who is arguing with the police
You can see from the above examples why many people are surprised that they have been arrested for resisting arrest or obstructing justice when they believe that they have done nothing wrong. The trouble is, a conviction on a resisting an officer arrest charge carries serious consequences such as a high fine, potential jail time and an arrest record that can make it hard to get a job.
