Re: resisting arrest

Motions to dismiss are properly filed when there are no disputes of fact. In your case, the officer is lying, so there is a dispute of fact, so the remedy is a trial rather than a motion to dismiss. You should contact an attorney, but if their case is that bad, if you set it for trial, they may very well drop it.

I hope this helps.
