A person charged with assault should understand the difference between simple and aggravated assault. If the other individual claiming to assault experienced minor injuries in a physical altercation or did not suffer bodily harm, but simply feared imminent harm, the other person may face charges of simple assault.
In Lubbock, simple assault allegations may result in a person facing a maximum of one year in a prison. In addition to a maximum of $4,000 in fines. Aggravated assault involves one of the aggravating factors previously mentioned and may have much harsher penalties.
