Assault & Battery Charges
Assault in Michigan is an attempt to cause physical injury to another person. Also, any intentional unlawful act or threat, even if that's raising a wrist or brandishing a weapon, is a form of assault. If the offender seems to have the ability to actually carry out the treat of action and causing others to feel afraid of impending violence, that is also an act of assault.
In contrast, assault or battery committed without a dangerous weapon can lead to a misdemeanor case. If the result is a serious injury, it's considered an aggravated assault and battery, which is punishable by more jail time.
A person convicted of a simple assault can face the following penalties:
- Up to 93 days in jail, a fine up to $500, or both
- Probation (up to two years) and restitution
A person convicted of aggravated assault and battery may face the following penalties:
- Up to one year in jail, with a fine up to $1000, or both
- Probation (up to two years) and restitution
