Assault:
An assault occurs when an action or a threat places someone in imminent fear of a non-consensual touching. Assault does not involve physical contact. Defense of assault charges sometimes include self-defense, defense of others, and defense of property.
Battery:
Battery can be defined as an intentional act of harmful or offensive touching of someone without permission. Accidental contact, no matter how severe, is not considered battery. To be charged with battery, the person who was physically harmed does not have to require medical treatment.
Assauly or Battery Allegations:
When law enforcement investigates allegations of assault and/or battery, many times eyewitnesses may not have observed the event in question from the start of the altercation, reporting only what they observed and who they perceived as the aggressor.
Since law enforcement initially focuses on restoring order, due attention is not always given to fully investigate the assault and/or battery incident, sometimes resulting in the arrest of an innocent person who acted in self defense or was protecting another person.

- Hefty fines
- Lengthy terms of probation
- Potential jail or prison time
