What is Assault?

It is a common misconception that the crime of assault requires actual physical contact and harm to occur in order to be considered a criminal offense. However, assault charges only necessitate that the victim feel a reasonable threat of imminent harm. This means that an assault occurs when intentional threats or actions, that cause someone to feel afraid that violence is impending against, them are made. There is no requirement for physical contact to be charged with an assault.

Simple Assault

  • second-degree misdemeanor
  • assault against special victims such as law enforcement officials elevates the offense to a first-degree misdemeanor
  • maximum of 60 days jail time
  • fine of no more than $500
  • probation not to exceed 60 days
  • restitution

Aggravated Assault

Aggravated assault occurs when an assault takes place, and the perpetrator employs a deadly weapon or intends to commit a felony.

  • third-degree felony
  • assault against special victims is considered a second-degree or first-degree felony
  • maximum of five years in prison
  • a fine not to exceed $5,000
  • no more than five years of probation
  • restitution

Important Notes On Assault Convictions:

If a defendant has a prior criminal history, especially a record of assault and battery, it is at the judge’s discretion to enhance any penalties levied.

Probation may be served as a substitute for jail time for either the entirety or a portion of the sentence.

If you are convicted of an assault, you may be required to pay restitution. This is a requirement set by the court for the offender to repay the victim for costs they incurred as a result of the assault such as medical or counseling bills.
