What is an Assault?

An assault charge involves acts of violence or threats of violence and is taken seriously by law enforcement. Depending on the circumstances, it can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, especially if a weapon, serious injury, or choking is involved.

A police officer can make an immediate arrest and file charges if they witness someone causing or attempting to cause bodily harm to another person. If the police do not witness the incident, the accuser typically needs to file a report before charges can be brought.

In cases of family violence, the accused can be arrested and charged even without an officer witnessing the act. Physical contact is not always necessary; threats alone that create fear in another person can be grounds for arrest. There are three primary levels of assault: simple assault, assault with injury, and aggravated assault.

If you need dedicated, effective legal representation, call Murphy & Baker Law Firm at 903-533-9000 for a free, confidential consultation and let us guide you through this challenging time.
