Resisting Arrest is defined under Ohio law as, recklessly or by force, resisting or interfering with a lawful arrest. Defense lawyer Brandon Shroy defends people against allegations of Resisting Arrest. 

At minimum, Resisting Arrest is a second-degree misdemeanor. If a member of Ohio law enforcement sustains an injury as a result of alleged resistance of arrest, then it becomes a first-degree misdemeanor, and if the officer alleges the injury resulted from a deadly weapon, it becomes a felony of the fourth degree under Ohio law. 

Any allegation of Resisting Arrest is always prosecuted aggressively as police officers and prosecutors work together closely in the courts. Allegations of Resisting Arrest are very serious and should not be taken lightly. Make sure you have an attorney experienced in defense against allegations of resisting arrest.
