#### Eluding Charges Explained

Burlington County eluding charges arise when one knowingly flees or refuses without reasonable cause to stop after being given instructions by law enforcement officers signaling them to stop their vehicles immediately.

Eluding is defined under N.J.S.A 2C:29-2b that only gets heard in Mount Holly, NJ. While it is a typical third-degree offense, eluding charges can go to second degree if the driver creates a risk of death or serious injury while trying to evade the police.

It is crucial to note that motor vehicle law violations alone are significant reasons behind second-degree eluding charges. Failure to stop when signaled to pull over can also lead to a felony charge, hence the need for experienced representation.

#### Penalties for Eluding in Burlington County

Eluding convictions in Burlington County attract severe penalties that vary depending on the grade of eluding. Convictions for third-degree eluding attract five years imprisonment and fines of up to $15,000. Conversely, second-degree eluding attracts prison terms ranging from five to ten years, and fines up to $150,000. Every conviction under these two grades requires suspension of driving privileges from six months up to two years.

Anyone facing second-degree eluding charge faces an assumed incarceration upon being found guilty; therefore, hiring competent and persuasive attorneys could make all the difference whenever these charges arise.

One can avoid imprisonment by seeking Pretrial Intervention exclusively available for third-degree convictions. Once convicted of this level offense at sentencing, the assumption is non-incarceration with no prior record requirements necessary.
