Get an attorney immediately. You mentioned two facts, but this will be decided on many facts and you need to discuss with your attorney issues such as reasonable suspicion and probable cause. Your attorney will need to know what you are charged with, also, and the facts could make a difference. For example, there is a difference between resisting arrest and evading arrest.
