When is resisting arrest a felony?

Per A.R.S. §13-2508 "Resisting Arrest" occurs when a person intentionally prevents or attempts to prevent a person "reasonably" known to him to be Peace Officer and acting in his official authority, from effectuating an arrest by either using, or threatening to use physical force against the Peace Officer or another person, or using any other means creating a substantial risk of causing physical injury to the Peace Officer or another. The statute is very broad, and criminalizes a wide range of conduct. Merely pulling away from an officer after they have grabbed you, or taking an offensive posture (i.e., a "fighting stance") towards the officer when he/she is attempting to place you into custody are grounds for a Resisting Arrest charge. Resisting Arrest is a class six (6) felony.
