Senate urged to pass weapons in resisting arrest bill
Sen J Verne Smith says only a long shot chance remains for a House review of a bill to jail those using deadly weapons to resist arrest. The measure approved by the Senate would reclassify resisting arrest with a deadly weapon from a misdemeanor to a felony with mandatory six month sentences for first offenses and two years for later offenses. A section charging battery on on duty officers by anyone 17 or older was deleted.
