At Greg Smith & Associates, we understand the complexities of these cases and are dedicated to protecting your rights.

Understanding Resisting Arrest Charges

Resisting arrest charges in Utah can stem from a variety of situations. It’s crucial to understand that these charges are often brought even if you believe you were acting within your rights. Common scenarios include:

  • Disagreements during traffic stops
  • Misunderstandings during questioning by law enforcement
  • Physical altercations, even if you believe you were acting in self-defense
  • Fleeing from law enforcement, even if you were not aware you were under arrest

The Consequences of a Conviction

A conviction for resisting arrest can result in:

  • Jail time
  • Fines
  • A criminal record
  • Probation
  • Damage to your reputation


These penalties can disrupt your life and create long-term challenges. That’s why it’s essential to have experienced legal representation on your side.
