Saying you don't know the answer to a question is not resisting arrest. But it's possible that something else you did would qualify. The police would then have discretion whether to arrest you for that crime. Your level of cooperation could influence how they exercise that discretion.

You should discuss the details of your case with a local attorney.

Good luck.
