Resisting Arrest

On June 28, 2012, Deputies responded to a residence on Ronald Drive, Lexington Park, Maryland, involving an assault.  Deputy Wood began speaking with a witness to the assault and recognized the witness as Robert Emmanuel Clifford, 28, of Lexington Park, Maryland.  When Clifford was asked to provide identification, he stated his id was outside and went to retrieve it being followed by K-9 Deputy First Class Graves.  Clifford provided Dfc. Graves with a false name and when Deputy Wood began approaching Clifford, he fled on foot.  A short pursuit ensued and Clifford was apprehended.  While officers were attempting to handcuff Clifford, he actively resisted by continuing to pull his arms underneath his chest while laying on the ground.  Clifford was eventually handcuffed by officers.  A records check through NCIC revealed Clifford had three outstanding warrants.  Clifford was charged with Resisting Arrest and served with the three warrants.
