Yes, resisting arrest is a crime.
If the conviction occurred a long time ago and you have not had any trouble with the law since then, many states have a process that allows the old conviction to be 'expunged' or sealed.
The conviction will show up during any thorough background check, even if it is expunged. Bummer. You are better off the admit it and explain it than have the record appear during a formal background check.

"Resisting arrest" is a separate crime in most states. The penalties are defined in each state's code.

Because it is a separate event and set of facts, and the penalties are not by definition set in stone, it is a major negotiation point with most prosecutors.
