What Is Aggravated Assault in Arizona?

Arizona law (A.R.S. §13-1204) outlines the offense of aggravated assault.

This is the crime of assault with aggravating factors that can include but are not limited to:

The use of a deadly weapon
Causing serious physical injury
The use of force that leads to disfigurement, loss, or impairment of a body part
Committed against a victim after entering their home
Committed against someone under 15
Committed against a public servant, such as a police officer, firefighter, or others
Committed in violation of a protective order
Committed against a victim who is physically restrained

What Is the Difference Between Aggravated & Simple Assault?

The primary difference between aggravated and simple assault lies in the severity and circumstances of the offense. Simple assault might involve minor physical contact or threats of harm without any actual physical contact.

Aggravated assaults are crimes involving actual harm or circumstances that pose greater harm due to the type, age, or circumstances of the alleged victim.

Penalties for Aggravated Assault

The penalties for aggravated assault are severe and can vary widely depending on the specifics of the case, including the victim's identity, the alleged assailant's criminal history, and the level of harm caused.

The Arizona Department of Corrections' penalties can range from significant fines to lengthy prison sentences. In some cases, aggravated assault may be charged as a felony. The most severe charge can be a Class 2 felony punishable by lengthy prison terms and hefty fines. The least severe charge is generally a Class 6 felony.

If you are accused of aggravated assault, it is crucial to exercise your right to remain silent and seek legal counsel immediately. Being charged is different from being guilty. You have rights; one of the most vital is your right to an attorney.
