Using unlawful force to inflict injury on another person — or even threatening to do so — can lead to some serious consequences, including jail time, hefty fines, and a criminal record that affects your future. In some states, carrying out the unlawful force is called “battery,” and threatening to do so is called “assault.” However, in Utah, “battery” doesn’t exist.
