Felonious Assault Laws in Michigan

According to Michigan assault legislation, any person who assaults another person with a gun, revolver, pistol, knife, club, iron bar/crow bar, brass knuckles, or any other dangerous weapon is guilty of felonious assault. Because the wording near the end of this law is so vague, really anything used in offensive contact against another person can be deemed to be a dangerous weapon, and felonious assault charges are a risk in many assault and battery cases.

Additionally, if a felonious assault offense takes place in a school zone, which are required to be free of all weapons by Michigan law, additional penalties can result. If injury, great bodily harm, or murder occurs in connection with the assault, penalties can be severely enhanced as well. Even intent to injury, maim, or murder can substantially increase the maximum penalties possible in a felonious assault case.

If you have been wrongly accused of assault with a dangerous weapon in Muskegon, contact Grabel & Associates now. We are always available to begin helping you in your legal battle.

Penalties for Felonious Assault

If you are convicted of felonious assault, also referred to as assault with a dangerous weapon, you could face a felony record, up to 4 years in prison, and a fine of as much as $2,000. If the offense takes place in a weapon-free school zone, you can also face up to 150 hours of community service, and up to $6,000 in fines. Weapons-free school zones include school busses, fields, or other property used by an educational institution offering any level of schooling K-12.

Anyone with past offenses on record or other aggravating circumstances can face additional criminal penalties, and no matter what the specifics of your case, it is essential to contact an experienced attorney as soon as possible.
