Aggravated Assault is a 3rd degree felony in the State of Florida. It is defined as making a threat to do violence against another person with the apparent ability to carry out the threat causing legitimate fear and either using a deadly weapon or committing the assault with the intent to commit another felony. As you can see the definition of aggravated assault is very specific and very technical. That's why it's important to retain an experienced criminal lawyer to defend you against aggravated assault charges.
As a third degree felony, aggravated assault is normally punishable by up to five years of prison, probation, or both and up to a $5000.00 fine. Some aggravated assault charges (with a firearm, on a law enforcement officer, on a firefighter, etc.) are subject to enhanced penalties and may be charged as second degree felonies, which carry prison sentences up to 15 years and fines up to $10,000.00.
