What Counts As Assault?
In Iowa, most instances of assault are classified as misdemeanors, serious felonies or aggravated cases. The definition of assault in Iowa covers several acts, including:
- Threatening a person
- Intentionally causing physical harm
- Pointing a firearm at someone
The legal code gives wide definitions for how these situations can apply. The most serious penalties for assault are aggravated charges. Aggravated charges apply to assault while displaying a dangerous weapon or assault with the intent to cause significant harm. A person convicted under those circumstances could face up to two years or more in jail.
