What is Assault and Battery?

In Arizona, you may be charged with assault and battery if you intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly threaten to harm another person, place another person in serious imminent danger, or knowingly touch another person with the intent to cause serious harm. Assault is the threat of harm and battery is the actual touching intended to cause harm. As outlined in A.R.S § 13-1203, the circumstances of the crime determine whether the assault charge will be a Class 1, 2, or 3 misdemeanor.
