Did you run on foot? I found this on several different websites. But don't take my word for it.so like and idiot (I was already fuming) I ran... that's all.
I will appreciate any info thanks.
If you are fleeing a police officer on foot, it is a Class B misdemeanor. In Texas, a Class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a fine up to $2,000, or both.
Also: Under § 38.04 of the Texas Penal Code, a person is guilty of evading arrest or detention when they intentionally flee from a person who they know is a police officer attempting to lawfully arrest or detain them. An offense under this section is classified as a Class B misdemeanor unless the suspect used a motor vehicle to flee law enforcement. A Class B misdemeanor is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and/or a fine up to $2,000.
And:
In Texas, evading arrest comes in two forms. Misdemeanor evading and felony evading.
Misdemeanor evading is on foot, if some officer is trying to stop someone and they keep running, they can be arrested for evading arrest on foot.
