Assault is intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly causing bodily injury to another person; intentionally or knowingly making another person reasonably fear immediate physical harm; or intentionally or knowingly touching another person in a way a reasonable person would find extremely offensive or insulting. Causing actual bodily injury is a Class A misdemeanor (up to 11 months 29 days in jail and up to $15,000 fine), making someone fear injury is a Class A misdemeanor, and offensive touching is a Class B misdemeanor (up to 6 months in jail and up to $500 fine).

Penalty: Class B misdemeanor; 6 months; fine up to $500

Domestic assault is when someone commits assault (hitting, attacking, threatening, or attempting to injure) against a domestic abuse victim—which includes current or former spouses, people living together, dating partners, family members by blood or marriage, or children of people in these relationships. Punishment depends on whether it's a first or second offense and the method used, ranging from the same penalties as basic assault to enhanced felony charges for repeat offenses.

Penalty: Class E felony; 1-6 years; fine up to $3,000
