In most U.S. jurisdictions, assault charges fall into two main categories: misdemeanor assault and felony (aggravated) assault. The distinction depends on factors like the severity of the incident, whether a weapon was involved, and the intent behind the action.
Sentencing Profile If prosecuted by indictment, the maximum penalty is 5 years incarceration. If prosecuted by summary conviction, the maximum penalty is 2 years less a day jail and/or a $5,000 fine (from Sept 19, 2019). These offences have no mandatory minimum penalties.
