Miami Valley Assault Cases

Under Ohio law (Ohio Revised Code section 2903.13), the crime of Assault occurs when a person knowingly causes or attempts to  cause physical harm to another or to another’s unborn.  Assault also occurs where a person recklessly causes serious physical injury.

Generally Assault is a first degree misdemeanor (punishable by up to six months jail and a $1000 fine).  Certain aggravating factors can bump a simple assault charge from a misdemeanor to a felony (if the other person is a law enforcement officer, for example).
