Understanding Assault & Battery Charges

In Oklahoma, assault and battery are two different charges. Contrary to popular belief, the crime of assault does not necessarily involve physical contact. Assault is defined as a threat or attempt to commit physical harm. Simply displaying a fist can lead to assault charges.

Battery is charged when someone intentionally uses force to inflict harm on another person. Punching, kicking, shoving, biting, and other attacks can all lead to battery charges. Even spitting on someone could lead to a charge of battery.

In many cases, assault and battery are charged together because a threat of violence often precedes a violent act.

What is Considered Aggravated Assault & Battery?

When an attack results in great bodily injury, the charge could be escalated to aggravated assault and battery. Attacks on elderly or disabled victims may also be charged as aggravated assault and battery. General assault and battery charges may also be escalated depending on the victim. Attacks on police officers, for example, are considered more serious. Domestic abuse is a special classification of assault and battery when the accused has allegedly attacked a spouse, a significant other, or someone else in a domestic relationship.

    Drew was a knowledgeable, empathetic, and calming presence during the most difficult season of my life. He helped me navigate through a divorce process that took nearly a year and a half. Nobody wins in a divorce, but I felt that Drew helped me "win" by achieving the best and fairest results possible for my case.
