Can you be charged with resisting arrest by more than one officer at the same arrest?

If there was one officer battling to detain and put the person under arrest then that would be only one. If another officer had to come toassist...then there is a possibility that the second officer could also impose the second charge. Hence the person is now resisting the second officer. Usually they don't because it is more paperwork, court time for the second officer and the lead officer takes the collar. It basically depends on the circumstance of the severity of the resisting. If a second or third etc officer was spit on, hit or bit say; then additional resisting charges would appear valid per officer involved.
