It depends upon the charges against you. The prosecution may combine the resisting arrest charges with additional related charges, such as those related to the reason for the arrest, which could lead to jail time. If fourth-degree resisting arrest charges apply (meaning that you ran from police), a presumption of non-incarceration is generally available for first offenders. That presumption does not apply if you are facing second-degree charges. The judge also has leeway to impose jail time depending upon the circumstances. Regardless of the charges you are facing, you need an experienced defense lawyer to minimize the risk of jail time.
