Aggravated kidnapping is false imprisonment committed to facilitate another felony or escape, interfere with government functions, cause serious bodily injury or terror to the victim, while the victim suffers bodily injury, or while the kidnapper possesses or threatens to use a deadly weapon. Punishment ranges from 8 to 30 years in prison and up to $25,000 in fines, though voluntarily releasing the victim alive or providing information leading to safe release is considered a mitigating factor at sentencing.

Penalty: Class B felony; 8-30 years; fine up to $25,000

Aggravated assault is assault committed with a deadly weapon (a firearm or anything designed to cause death or serious injury) or assault that causes serious bodily injury (substantial risk of death or permanent damage); this is a Class D felony (2 to 12 years in prison, up to $5,000 fine), but can be elevated to a Class C or B felony depending on aggravating circumstances like the severity of injury or use of weapons.
