    Laws - View Law: FIGHTING AND ASSAULT


    An assault is committed any time a person knowingly causes physical injury to another person. It is also any time that someone may feel physically threatened or when someone touches someone else to provoke or insult them. (A.R.S. § 13-1203).

    Sometimes assault is classified as a misdemeanor. Aggravated assault is a felony. It is important to know this and to realize that fighting can be illegal. If you are involved in a fight, you could also be charged with disorderly conduct or disturbing the peace.

YOU ARE SIXTEEN AND SOMEONE IS TELLING YOU ARE AN ADULT BECAUSE YOU ARE 16? WHY DID'NT YOU JUST CALL THE POLICE ON HER AND HAVE HER CHARGED WITH ASSUALT AND BATTERY AND PUBLIC INTOXICATION? OR IS THERE MORE TO THIS STORY YOU ARE NOT SHARING WITH US? WHAT DOES YOU BEING A MINOR GOT TO DO WITH ANYTHING, YOU WERE ATTACKED . NEXT TIME CALL THE POLICE, MAKE SURE YOUR WITNESS POOL IS FULL PRESS CHARGES AND PUT THAT ANIMAL BEHIND BARS. ADD PUBLIC TRESPASS AS WELL
