Charged With Assault or Aggravated Assault in Arizona?
You may have been involved in a drunken bar fight or have been falsely accused by a spouse of domestic violence. This does not matter. Regardless of the circumstances surrounding your assault and battery charge, there are serious potential penalties. Charges for any type of violence are serious and include felonies resulting in significant jail or prison time.

Aggravated Assault and Felony Charges
Aggravated assault charges are felonies and very serious. An assault charge is aggravated assault if it involves the use of a dangerous instrument or deadly weapon, serious bodily harm, children, teachers, health care providers or police officers. If a person was seriously injured due to a person driving under the influence, that is aggravated assault. Even if you did not actually use a weapon or dangerous instrument, just threatening another person with it constitutes an aggravated assault charge. Remember, mandatory minimum sentencing is harsh and a judge has no discretion. Some aggravated assault convictions can be as high as 15 or 21 years of mandatory prison time.
