Evading arrest/ Resisting arrest Resisting arrest: attempting to flee from police officers, fighting against the arrest with physical force or by threatening an officer, or attacking law enforcement officials. Normally, this is a misdemeanor crime, but if you use a deadly weapon such as a gun, you can be charged with a felony. Evading arrest: a more serious version of resisting arrest. You may attempt to flee from an officer on foot or in a vehicle. The level of your crime escalates with the amount of effort that you put into your escape. For instance, using a motor vehicle can lead to a felony. If anyone is hurt in the process, you may be charged with a third degree felony. In Texas, these two crimes can span from class A misdemeanors to second degree felonies. The consequences of these charges can be significant.
