Resisting Arrest

Boston Resisting Arrest Lawyer

Resisting arrest is usually a subsequent charge after the police believe they have probable cause to arrest you for another offense. If you are found guilty of resisting arrest, you can be sentenced to up to 2 ½ years in jail.

Unfortunately, whether the police had probable cause to arrest you in the first place is not a defense to resisting arrest. However, it may be a mitigating factor. There are many legitimate defenses, however, such as defending yourself against excessive force by the police, or your actions may not have been resisting at all. If the best way to handle your case is through a plea negotiation, I can often times have the resisting arrest charge dismissed completely.
