There are many situations in which someone could find himself or herself facing assault and battery charges. The fact is that most people may not realize the broad definitions of assault and battery:
- Assault — Is the intentional communication of a threat of an unwanted and imminent physical contact. An assault arrest may occur through an act as simple as yelling at another driver in traffic. If the other person feels threatened, it can be assault.
- Battery — Is the unwanted and intentional physical contact with another, which may or may not cause an injury. The contact can be minimal and still constitute a battery arrest.
