Rocco's behavior of kicking and locking his legs around Trooper Tommy while being transported to the county jail constitutes resisting transportation. This is distinct from escape, as Rocco did not attempt to flee or leave the vehicle.

Finally, evading arrest would not apply, as Rocco had already been arrested for driving while intoxicated.
