Penalties and Sentencing Assault with a dangerous weapon is a Class 3 felony in Arizona, punishable by 5-15 years in prison and/or a fine of up to $150,000. Assault with a dangerous weapon is a Class 2 felony punishable by 7-21 years in jail and/or a fine of up to $150,000 if the accused victim is a police officer, or prosecutor. Keep in mind that the penalty for Class 2 and Class 3 crimes can be increased based on aggravating elements such as: • The alleged victim's family was harmed • The way in which the assault was conducted; • and if the victim was old or incapacitated.
