Well, not as long as you actually succeed in evading arrest, but once they get you, they'll keep you.
If you are speaking of eluding them via motor vehicle; it depends on the laws of your particular state. In some states the charge is a criminal statute violation, in others it is a violation of DMV regulations.
The sentence for evading arrest depends on the state. In Texas it is punishable up to 180 days in jail and a possible fine of $2,000.
That depends on what the Court decides. Let me clue you in to something before you try running from the police in any manner. You stand a very poor chance of getting bail if you've already proven you will run.

Headlines following the escape of a 3-foot-10-inch fortune teller from jail likely focused on the unusual nature of the incident, emphasizing her height and the unexpected twist of a seemingly whimsical character evading custody. Puns and playful language could have been used, such as "Small but Mighty: Fortune Teller's Great Escape!" or "Tiny Psychic Defies Odds in Jailbreak." The media would also highlight the circumstances of the escape, drawing attention to the security lapses that allowed her to flee.
I think that as long as you don't break more laws or endanger people in your evasion, it's a misdemeanor.
