Frequently Asked Questions

What are the different types of assault in Maryland?

First Degree assault is a felony that carries a maximum penalty of 25 years’ incarceration. Second Degree Assault is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum penalty of 10 years’ incarceration and/or a $2,500 fine. Lastly, 2nd degree assault against a law enforcement officer is classified as a felony and carries the same maximum penalty as second degree assault.

What if the person I allegedly assaulted does not want to press charges?

It is up to the State’s Attorney to decide whether to prosecute the case, not the alleged victim. The State can go forward with a case even if the victim does not want to, and can even subpoena the alleged victim to come to court.
