It may have been a misunderstanding, an angry comment, a careless statement, or a maliciously fabricated charge. But, if you have been accused of making terroristic threats in New Jersey you may face serious consequences. Simple assault charges escalate quickly to aggravated assault if the dispute involved a New Jersey police officer, the use of a weapon, or serious bodily injury. Depending on the degree of offense you are charged with, you may face prison, jail time, probation, or a restraining order.
You can only harm your case by talking to police, prosecutors, your accuser, or anyone other than your New Jersey criminal defense lawyer. If you have been arrested or realize you are going to be charged with aggravated assault or a threat crime, exercise your constitutional right to be silent until you have talked with an attorney.
