Charges (4)
Resisting Arrest
Original: RESIST STOP, FRISK, HALT, ARREST, OR SEARCH (Misdemeanor)
It is illegal to use physical force against a police officer to prevent them from stopping, searching, or arresting you or another person. This includes resisting or obstructing a lawful police action through violence. A basic violation is a Class B misdemeanor punishable by up to 6 months in jail and a $500 fine, but if you use a deadly weapon (firearm or similar object) during the resistance, it becomes a Class A misdemeanor with harsher penalties.
Penalty: Class B misdemeanor; 6 months; fine up to $500
Criminal Trespass
Original: TRESPASS (Misdemeanor)
It is illegal to enter or stay on someone else's property without their permission. You violate this law if you go onto or remain on property knowing the owner did not consent to your presence, though consent is assumed for businesses open to the public. A violation is a Class C misdemeanor punishable by up to 30 days in jail and a $50 fine. You have a defense if you reasonably believed you had permission, your presence didn't significantly interfere with the owner's use, and you left immediately when asked—but only if the owner did not post visible "no trespassing" signs or purple paint marks at entry points.
Penalty: Class C misdemeanor; 30 days; fine up to $50
Contraband in Penal Institution
Original: Contraband in Penal Inst.-Intoxicant/Contr. Substance (Felony)
It is illegal to knowingly bring weapons, ammunition, explosives, drugs, alcohol, or cell phones into a prison or jail, or to possess these items while in a correctional facility. This applies to any person bringing contraband into an institution or to anyone (including staff) possessing prohibited items inside. The base violation is a Class E felony (1-6 years, up to $3,000 fine), but charges can be enhanced to Class D or Class C felony depending on the specific item and circumstances.
Penalty: Class E felony; 1-6 years; fine up to $3,000
Aggravated Assault
Original: Assault-Law Enforcement Officer-Offensive Contact (Felony)
Aggravated assault is assault committed with a deadly weapon (a firearm or anything designed to cause death or serious injury) or assault that causes serious bodily injury (substantial risk of death or permanent damage); this is a Class D felony (2 to 12 years in prison, up to $5,000 fine), but can be elevated to a Class C or B felony depending on aggravating circumstances like the severity of injury or use of weapons.
Penalty: Class D felony; 2-12 years; fine up to $5,000
