SIMPLE ASSAULT VS. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT CHARGES IN ARIZONA
Phoenix-area residents: A heated argument in Scottsdale or road rage in Tempe can spiral into serious charges fast! Under ARS 13-1203, simple assault (like a threat or minor shove) is often a misdemeanor—up to 6 months jail and $2,500 fines. But ARS 13-1204 flips it to aggravated assault felony with weapons, serious injury, or protected victims like police—facing 5-21 years prison!
