If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

There are several pieces of information you failed to provide so that it is impossible for anyone to answer your question. What was the amount of the burglarly that was committed and what was the assault? This will be very important as to whether or not you committed a misdemeanor or felony. Also, do you have a prior record, and, if so, what is it? The priors are factored into the point system in scoring your possible penalty if convicted.
