At Thole Law firm, we understand that sometimes even good people make mistakes. We are here to ensure that a mistake doesn’t cost you everything.

An assault with a weapon is considered as a felony offense. If there is a conviction, you can face a mandatory jail sentence up to seven years in Minnesota. Along with jail time, you might also be looking at heavy fines. Depending upon the severity of the offense, the penalties can be increased up to $20,000 along with 10 years of jail time.

Types of weapon that falls under the deadly weapons category in “assault with a weapon” charge are:

Knives

Guns

Baseball bats

Fire

Club

Or any other that can be used to inflict serious bodily injury

Apart from the fines and jail time, you might be looking at some social consequences associated with a guilty conviction. The felons who get convicted in the court of law lose various civil rights like the right to vote and the right to possess firearms. You may also have a hard time finding good jobs or housing facilities.
