The Legal Definition of Assault
Assault is a threat that makes another individual fear for their immediate safety, while battery is the use of force that results in harmful or offensive contact. Simple assault is one of the most common charges in Rhode Island and could result in a maximum fine of $1,000, up to a year of imprisonment, or both. However, the use of a deadly weapon in an assault and battery charge carries much more severe penalties, which includes the misdemeanor charge being increased to a felony charge, as well as a maximum jail / prison sentence of 20 years.
