Is Aggavated Assault Considered a Felony?

Black’s Law Dictionary generally defines the term “felony” as a serious criminal offense that usually involves imprisonment for more than one (1) year. While New Jersey does not use this term to describe the offense of aggravated assault and, instead, calls it an indictable crime, the reality is that is a felony because even a fourth-degree version triggers up to eighteen (18) months in prison. Accordingly, you will have what is considered a felony record if you are convicted for aggravated assault in Monmouth County.
