Reckless Endangerment
Original: Charge Code: 39-13-103C Charge Description: RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT-VEHICLEMISD
Reckless endangerment is when someone acts recklessly in a way that puts another person in immediate danger of death or serious injury. This happens when a person is aware of a serious risk but ignores it anyway—for example, firing a gun into a crowd or driving dangerously fast through a populated area. A basic conviction is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 11 months and 29 days in jail and/or a fine up to $2,500. The offense is enhanced to a Class E, D, or C felony (1-15 years in prison) if the reckless conduct involves using a deadly weapon or firearm.
Penalty: Class A misdemeanor; 11 months 29 days; fine up to $2,500
Resisting Arrest
Original: Charge Code: 39-16-602 Charge Description: RESISTING STOPFRISKHALTARREST OR SEAR
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
