The opinion

Sherck, Judge,

concurring in part and dissenting in part.

I concur with the majority’s handling of appellant’s assignments of error two through nine. I, however, dissent as to appellant’s resisting-arrest conviction. I do not believe that appellant’s passive resistance constituted recklessness or force sufficient to convict her of this offense.
