Escape Misdemeanor is defined as what?

• A. Arrested For Misdemeanor Or Flees Precinct For Misdemeanor
• B. Committing A Felony
• C. Committing A Misdemeanor In The Presence Of An Officer
• D. Refusing To Identify The Suspect

Answer: (A)

Escape Misdemeanor describes the act of someone who has been arrested for a misdemeanor or is in custody fleeing from that custody. The key point is that the person is already under misdemeanor arrest or supervision, and the act of escaping itself is charged as a misdemeanor. It doesn’t require the offender to commit a felony, nor does it hinge on being in a specific location or on the presence of an officer. The other descriptions point to different offenses: committing a felony, or committing a misdemeanor in the presence of an officer, or refusing to identify, which are not what defines this offense.
