Assault charges can rise to the level of aggravated assault when it is alleged that a deadly weapon has been used or exhibited in the commission of an assault. Examples of items that can be considered a deadly weapon include the following:
- A firearm
- A knife
- A club
- Anything manifestly designed, made, or adapted for the purpose of inflicting death or serious bodily injury: assault with a deadly weapon can mean assault with anything that in the manner of its use or intended use is capable of causing death or serious bodily injury.
Whatever the particular allegation might involve, aggravated assault is a felony offense that carries with it serious consequences that can impact not only a person's freedom, but also have life long consequences that can impact a person's ability to own or possess a firearm and the ability to hold employment in many fields just to name a few. With so much at stake, it is critical to obtain qualified legal counsel as soon as possible to begin the process of preparing a vigorous defense. This investment in your future is crucial.
