A person intentionally interferes with an officer making a lawful arrest by hiding a suspect. What offense has been committed?

The scenario describes a person who intentionally hides a suspect from an officer conducting a lawful arrest. This action directly relates to the offense of hindering apprehension. Hindering apprehension involves any act that prevents or delays law enforcement from apprehending a suspect or enforcing the law. By hiding the suspect, the individual is actively obstructing the officer's ability to carry out their duty, which constitutes hindering apprehension.

In the context of the other options, assault on a police officer would involve physically attacking or threatening an officer, which is not the case here. Obstructing justice typically refers to acts that disrupt the legal process, such as tampering with evidence or witnesses, rather than just hindering an arrest. Interference with a lawful act is a more general term that may not specifically apply to the circumstances of preventing an arrest. Therefore, hindering apprehension is the most accurate description of the offense committed.
