You know, I guess if you hit someone on the shoulder say, that's a misdemeanor.  This topic came up before, I know of a case, where at a college, one person was charged with misdemeanor assault as well vs. assault and battery. Like he hit a student or something, it doesn't rise to the level of being a felony.

The rule of thumb in AZ is, if there's a broken bone, it's Aggravated Assault.  If not, it's a Misdemeanor.
