Charged with Simple Assault in Dover, NJ

Simple assault is a disorderly persons offense codified in Section 2C:12-1(a) of the New Jersey Criminal Statutes. Since it is categorized as a disorderly persons offense, a charge for simple assault in Dover will be handled in the Dover Joint Municipal Court. If the prosecution can prove beyond a reasonable doubt that you knowingly, recklessly, or purposely caused bodily injury to another person (or attempted to do so); negligently caused injury with a deadly weapon; or physically menaced someone to create a fear of immediate injury, you will be convicted of simple assault and have a criminal record moving forward. Not only that, but the other potential repercussions of a simple assault charge include up to 6 months in the Morris County Jail, a fine of $1,000, court assessments, probation, anger management counseling, and restitution to the victim.

There are several circumstances that compel simple assault charges to be upgraded. Specifically, if the simple assault is against a police officer, member of law enforcement, judge, prosecutor, teacher, or another public servant, simple assault becomes a felony crime for aggravated assault. Additionally, if you commit simple assault at a youth sporting event in New Jersey, the offense immediately escalates to aggravated assault.
