4 categories of assault
Since assault is a broad term, Ohio law often divides into four distinct categories:
- Simple assault. In this scenario, the accused knowingly or recklessly caused harm to another individual.
- Negligent assault. This occurs when an individual is negligent and injures someone with a deadly weapon.
- Felony assault. Simple assault charges are upgraded to felony charges when a deadly weapon is involved.
- Aggravated assault. This type of charge occurs when the accused assaults someone in a moment of anger.
Understanding your individual charges is an important part of building your criminal defense. For more information, talk to attorney Kopec about your case today.
