Under
Arizona law, assault charges can be filed by the
prosecution under a wide variety of circumstances.
In many instances, the prosecution will charge an
individual with assault or aggravated assault even when
the alleged victim never suffered an injury.
Typical examples include when an individual threatens
another by displaying a gun, knife or other weapon in a
threatening manner. Ironically, some of the
harshest prison sentences are handed down against
individuals convicted of aggravated assault under these
circumstances. Mandatory sentencing laws in
Arizona require a minimum sentence of five years in
prison for threatening another with a deadly weapon -
even if the individual has no prior criminal history
whatsoever! Needless to say, if you or someone you
know has been charged with aggravated assault, you
should contact a Mesa Assault Attorney who understands
