What may start as a minor altercation can quickly turn into criminal charges of assault and battery. Prosecutors take these cases seriously; so should you.
Though the terms assault and battery are often used together and interchangeably, they are different crimes. Under Michigan law, battery refers to physical contact between two people — spitting on another person can be grounds for a battery charge. Assault does not have to involve contact, only the imminent threat of harm.
