Although assault and battery are often mentioned together, they are separate offenses. An assault does not involve any touching of the alleged victim. Assault is an intentional threat to do violence against another. In addition to the threat of harm, the state also has to prove that you appeared to have the ability to carry out the threat and also that the act created a well-founded fear of the harm in the mind of the victim. Even though an assault does not entail touching anyone, if convicted of it, you could still face up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine.
A battery offense entails the actual and intentional touch of another against his will. It is a first-degree misdemeanor and carries up to one year in the county jail and a $1,000 fine.
These offenses can quickly turn into felony level depending on the level of violence, the injuries, and whether a weapon is used. If charged as a felony, you could be facing years in prison and thousands of dollars in fines. Wanda T. Greene understands the laws for these charges and is ready to fight for you and help minimize your chances of conviction.
Burglary and theft charges can be filed against you if you are suspected of taking or attempting to take the property of another.
Theft involves taking the property of another with the intent to permanently deprive them of it. The value of that property will determine whether the offense is charged as a misdemeanor or a felony.
Robbery involves taking property of some value from another using force or violence with the intent to permanently deprive them of it.
Burglary involves entering a building, dwelling, vehicle, or structure with the intent to commit a crime while inside. Even if nothing was actually stolen, the intent to commit an offense such as criminal mischief while inside is enough to lead to a burglary charge.
Factors such as the value of the stolen items, whether there is any injury caused by the act, and whether a weapon was used during the offense can elevate the severity of the charges significantly.
If you have been arrested for any theft offense, don’t go it alone. You need an experienced attorney representing you to challenge the allegations. Wanda T. Greene stands ready and will work to defend you every step of the way.
