NO. Escape can only occur after a lawful arrest has been made. An example would be at any point from the time the offender has been taken into custody through the service of any period of judicially imposed incarceration. Resisting Arrest is a separate criminal act and it occurs when a law enforcement officer is attempting to affect an arrest. It could be any act (even passive) from refusing to comply to running away from the officer. Most municipal and county governments throughout the U.S. have and additional ordinance know as "failure to stop on lawful command" This ordinance can further assist the officer in gaining control over a suspected offender/suspect.
