Assault & Battery Charges
What is an Assault?
An assault occurs when an individual attempts to commit a battery on another individual or threatens to commit a battery on another individual. A battery is the use of force. For example, if one individual threatens to punch someone or attempts to punch them but misses, that would be an assault. If the individual’s hand touches the other person, then the assault is enhanced to an assault and battery.
Several types of assaults can be charged as a subsequent offense, increasing the time one may be sentenced to jail or prison.

What is an Assault and Battery?
Assault and Battery is an enhanced version of assault. Unlike an assault, where an individual threatens to hurt someone or attempts to hurt someone but is unsuccessful, an assault and battery occurs when a part of an individual’s body touches another individual. Another example would be when an individual throws an object at someone, and it strikes the other person.
There are many assault and battery offenses that an individual can be charged with. For example, if the assault and battery is committed against a public employee, to collect a loan, against a correctional facility employee, against a family member, or a healthcare provider, to name a few.
