Aggravated assault is a felony offense under A.R.S. § 13-1204 and can stem from a wide range of scenarios. These include:
● Causing serious physical injury
● Using a deadly weapon
● Assaulting a public servant (police officer, fireman, politician, etc.)
Depending on the circumstances, penalties can include prison time, steep fines, and long-term damage to your personal and professional life.
Unlike simple assault, aggravated assault carries enhanced consequences and social stigma.
