Felony AssaultFelony assault, and there are different degrees,
are generally charged when serious bodily injury occurs. “Serious bodily
injury” is defined as “bodily injury that creates a substantial risk of
death or that causes death, serious permanent disfigurement, or
protected loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or
organ.” An example may be one where a bone is broken during an assault.
This is generally referred to as “aggravated assault.” Assault on a
peace officer is also a felony offense and is charged when a person
commits regular assault with the added element of it being against a
public servant.
