Assault with a deadly weapon is punishable by between one and six years in prison and a $5,000 fine. For battery, it's punishable by between two and ten years in prison and a $10,000 fine. If there's a deadly weapon involved and other aggravating factors, the maximum penalty can be even more.
If you did not use a deadly weapon, the prison term is 1 – 6 years. If you did use a deadly weapon, the minimum prison term is 2 years. If the victim sustained substantial bodily harm or was strangled, the maximum term is 15 years. Otherwise, the maximum term is 10 years.
Waiting Period: Individuals convicted of a first-time misdemeanor domestic violence offense can petition to have their records sealed after a 7-year waiting period. This waiting period begins after the completion of all sentence requirements, including probation and fines.
