Re: resisting arrest
He could go to jail because of this offense. The prosecution love to punish people for PC 148.
He could also be put on probation with no jail time. It all depends on the details of the case and the attorneys involved.
I recommend contacting an attorney to help you with this matter. If you would like to discuss things further feel free to give me a call. Best of luck.
