Colorado Third-Degree Assault laws and sentences

Under Colorado law, Third-Degree Assault is a Class 1 misdemeanor punishable by a county jail sentence of up to two years and a fine of up to $5,000. Third-Degree Assault is one of the few misdemeanor charges in Colorado that, for enhanced sentencing purposes, is considered an extraordinary risk crime.

Assault in the Third Degree, as defined in Title 18 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, is committed when a person knowingly or recklessly causes bodily injury to another or negligently causes bodily injury to another by means of a deadly weapon.

Third-Degree Assault is most commonly charged in domestic violence cases in which one party claims the other caused them physical harm, but without the infliction of serious injuries or the use of a weapon. Third-Degree Assault also is a common criminal charge in situations involving bar fights and physical disputes. In Denver, it has become an accompanying charge in DUI cases in which a DUI suspect causes an accident that results in minor injuries.

A conviction for a Third-Degree Assault charge in Colorado might involve time behind bars, supervised probation with offender-specific classes and therapy, monitored sobriety and a permanent black mark on a background check that could interfere with future opportunities.

Denver criminal defense attorney Jay Tiftickjian has handled hundreds of Third-Degree Assault cases as a criminal attorney and former deputy district attorney. He has achieved not-guilty verdicts on First-, Second- and Third-Degree Assault cases involving domestic and non-domestic situations. If you are charged with an assault case in Denver or its surrounding areas, contact The Tiftickjian Law Firm, P.C. for a consultation with an experienced Denver criminal lawyer.
