Understanding Assault and Battery in Alabama

In Alabama, assault involves intentionally or recklessly causing physical injury to another person. The degree of assault—first, second, or third—depends on the severity of the injury and whether a weapon was used. Although “battery” is not a separate offense under state law, the term is commonly used to describe physical attacks that result in harm or offensive contact.

  • First-Degree Assault (Class B Felony): serious injury or use of a deadly weapon.
  • Second-Degree Assault (Class C Felony): intentional injury with a weapon or to certain protected victims.
  • Third-Degree Assault (Class A Misdemeanor): minor physical injury or reckless behavior causing harm.

  • Name and booking number
  • Arrest date and charges
  • Bond information
  • Agency or department responsible
