Fourth Degree Assault is a criminal charge that can be made against someone who physically assaults another person under circumstances not amounting to First, Second, or Third Degree Assault. The charge can also be made if someone intentionally throws or transfers bodily fluids upon a specific class of people. Bodily harm is defined as any physical pain or injury, illness, or any impairment of a physical condition, and it can be as basic as a red mark or a bruise. Fourth Degree Assault can be a gross misdemeanor or a felony depending on the act, who the victim is, and whether the actor has any priors. The maximum penalty for a gross misdemeanor is 365 days imprisonment and a fine of $3,000, while the maximum penalty for a felony ranges from 366 days to three years and a fine of $3,000 to $6,000. Fourth Degree Assault can be charged in situations where there is a dispute between two parties, and one party intends to harm the other party, even if there is no actual physical contact. The Domestic Violence classification is added to an Assault 4 charge when the individual charged with Assault 4 has a certain relationship with the party harmed, such as family members, romantic partners, or roommates. Fourth Degree Assault is an intentional act that results in offensive or physical contact with another person without their consent.
