Louisiana Revised Statutes on Assault and Battery

Battery Definition

Battery is defined under Title 14 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes in the following manner:

§33.  Battery defined

Battery is the intentional use of force or violence upon the person of another; or the intentional administration of a poison or other noxious liquid or substance to another.

  • Charges of battery are often coupled by law enforcement officials with charges of assault in order to increase the possible penalties against an individual suspected of a crime

Assault Definition

Assault definition is under Title 14 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes in the following manner:

§36.  Assault defined

Assault is an attempt to commit a battery, or the intentional placing of another in reasonable apprehension of receiving a battery.

  • The key under this definition is that assault does not necessarily have to involve any physical action against another – merely threatening harm to another can result in charges of assault in the state of Louisiana

§34.  Aggravated battery

First, aggravated battery is a battery that happens with a dangerous weapon.
