What Are the Different Assault Charges in Colorado?

According to Colorado law, assault can happen when the accused individual makes physical contact with the alleged victim through hitting, pushing, shoving or any form of violence. If an argument can be made that the contact was made with the intent of causing harm, you could be charged with assault.

There are varying degrees of assault that you could be charged with:

• First-degree assault – Assault in the first degree is considered aggravated assault. If convicted, you could face mandatory prison time, fines, and restitution. In Colorado, this is a third-degree felony offense.
• Second-degree assault – Second-degree assault charges could result in jail time up to 5 years, fines, and court-ordered classes.
• Third-degree assault – A conviction of third-degree assault could leave you facing a mandatory 2 years of jail and a misdemeanor on your record.
