Resisting arrest, failure to obey lawful order, disorderly conduct...

Generally speaking its not a good idea to disobey police, or risk arrest, grievous injury, or worse.

I don't think it's a lawful order, but I could be wrong. And resisting and disorderly wouldn't likely stick if he just willingly said "arrest me, I'm not cutting his head off."

He said the officers claimed that the dog's head had to be removed to be tested for rabies - even though Big Boy was fully vaccinated against the deadly disease.

Joe Goodwin and his girlfriend Tosha Dacon filed a lawsuit last week after their two-year-old pitbull cross Big Boy was shot dead outside their home in Crawford County two months ago. 

The couple claim Crawford County sheriff's deputy Wesley Andrew Neesmith killed their beloved pooch after going to their home on December 1 to investigate reports the dog had bitten a neighbor.
