Resisting arrest occurs when a person intentionally prevents or attempts to prevent law enforcement from arresting him/her by using or threatening to use physical force against the officer or another. Resisting arrest may also be charged when a person demonstrates conduct that creates a substantial risk of causing physical injury to an officer or another. Under Arizona law, resisting arrest is considered to be a Class 6 Felony.
