Resisting Arrest (N.J.S. 2C: 29-2)

If you have been charged with an offense that warrants an arrest, you could also be charged with the disorderly persons offense of resisting arrest if you do in fact resist law enforcement. Some common scenarios in Brick Township include but are not limited to:

• If approached by a law enforcement officer and you purposely prevent or attempt to prevent that officer from arresting you, you will be charged with the disorderly persons offense of resisting arrest.
• If you attempt to elude the officer by running or escaping, you can be charged with an indictable offense in the 4^th degree.
• If you use or threaten to use physical violence on the officer to prevent arrest, you might be charged with an indictable offense in the 3^rd degree.

Resisting arrest offenses most often occur when a law enforcement officer attempts to break up a fight or a scuffle, but is also written when an individual uses force with the officer during their arrest.
