I am a little confused. I can appreciate that you did your homework on the case. Anyone should do that, but most people will not. However, it sounds like the fact that most of the time he charged people with resisting/assault it got tossed really doesn't have much if anything to do with your case and you just got lucky.
Many cops will write/charge someone with everything they can think of. They do this for a few reasons. First, it ups their stats and makes them look good and the more they charge you with the better chance they will have of having at least some of it stick so I would imagine most cops have most of their charges dropped when the case actually moves towards trial.
Still, it sounds like you got lucky. He made a mistake and you were able to find it and take advantage of it. I had that happen once too. I got a speeding ticket, but my car was an Eagle Summit and he wrote down a Toyota Summit. The ticket got tossed.
Be honest. Had he not made that mistake would you be in much deeper shit?
