"Obstructing an officer" is pretty nebulous. If you're being really obstructive, you might be charged with "accessory after the fact" or something, which in some jurisdictions means that the entire range of sentencing for the crime itself, up to and including the death penalty, is on the table (US Federal law limits this to a prison term of up to 15 years for cases where the crime itself carries the death penalty).
