interference or obstacle.
(2) It shall be an affirmative defense that:
(a) The obstruction, impairment, or hindrance was of unlawful action by a public servant; or
(b) The obstruction, impairment, or hindrance was of the making of an arrest; or
(c) The obstruction, impairment, or hindrance of a governmental function was by lawful activities in connection with a
labor dispute with the government.
(3) Obstructing government operations is a class 3 misdemeanor.

Looks like the resisting arrest is more serious.
Or it could be something as simple as one of her friends was being arrested for something and she tried to interfere with it and then she was told she was also being arrested and she didn't go quietly into the night. Dealing with drunks gets old fast for a cop.

Both are misdemeanors and alcohol related. The DA will most likely provide a plea bargain that requires some sort of alcohol awareness class, as colorider mentioned, some community service, some probation and some fines. Life goes on.
