Aggravated Assault with a deadly weapon
Aggravated Assault is serious charge that generally involves the use of or display of a deadly weapon. The threshold question is whether the action caused another to be placed in fear or threat of injury. The facts of the case will be examined to determine whether the alleged victim's fear or claim of threat was reasonable. The accused no longer enjoys the presumption of probation under the Kansas sentencing guidelines when a deadly weapon is involved in the incident.
