Resisting Arrest Charges in Sterling Heights, Farmington Hills, Rochester Hills, Warren, Troy, Ferndale, and the Surrounding Areas in Oakland and Wayne Counties, Michigan

Resisting arrest is a criminal charge that involves a failure to cooperate with law enforcement or other officials when they are attempting to take a person into custody. This may be carried out by physically pulling away, fighting against the officer, shouting or otherwise hindering the officer in the performance of his or her duty.

Unfortunately, it is rather a natural reaction to question an arrest, or to pull away. What if this simple action results in serious criminal charges? Contacting a criminal defense attorney is of the utmost importance if you or someone you know has been accused of resisting arrest. It may have been a situation that the law enforcement officer blew out of proportion or may have been a misunderstanding.
