Is evading the police a felony?

[SRT40]

What is the name of your state?UT
I was racing the other night and an officer pulled out and he turned on his red and blue lights. He stopped in the middle of traffic and I thought he was pulling another car over so I turned off and I took off. I made a left turn and when I got to the next light I noticed the officer coming after me so I just kept going for about 2 blocks and turned to the right and the officer wasn't chasing me anymore? Is it a felony charge and what sentences am I facing?

It may depend on the state, but usually you can count on initially being charged as a felony. In some states it's a felony off-hand, in CA it is a felony depending on the circumstances. I'm not sure of the law in UT for it, however.

You might consider consulting an attorney.
