Resisting arrest occurs when a person interferes with a law enforcement officer's attempt to arrest you.
in some cases, yes it depends on the city.
Resisting arrest is when an individual intentionally interferes with a law enforcement officer's attempt to perform a legal arrest. This can include physical struggles, fleeing, or refusing to comply with an officer's orders. It is considered a crime in many jurisdictions.
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.

It's not dumb to fight this charge. If you keep fighting it, there is a good chance they will eventually dismiss it and then - no record. It's worth fighting.
