Basic Fleeing and Eluding (Third-Degree Felony): It is unlawful for an operator of any vehicle, having knowledge that they have been ordered to stop by a clearly marked law enforcement vehicle, to willfully refuse to stop or to flee. This basic charge carries up to 5 years in state prison and a mandatory fine of up to $5,000.
