They may add charges. It just happened this weekend.

Then why simple assault? Aggravated assault involves a deadly weapon. Why didn’t they at least start there?

> felony aggravated assault, making terroristic threats, recklessly endangering another person and simple assault.

I made the text bold so it would help.

I don't know why you're being upvoted (and I downvoted) when you've got the wrong information. It wasn't a charge of simple assault, it was an aggravated felony assault.

They start with lesser charges and then the D.A. can add on. That's how it works.

Reddit is collectively fuckin stupid.
