Resisting arrest with violence is a third degree felony punishable by up to five years in a Florida prison. To prove a charge of resisting with violence, the State must show that you:

by threatening to do violence to the officer or by doing violence to the officer,
while they were executing legal process or while they were executing a legal duty.
The most common scenario for resisting arrest with violence is when you hit, kick or spit on an officer while they are arresting you.
