Thank you for the post. A fifth degree domestic assault, first offense is a misdemeanor and is punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $1000 fine. There is a presumptive minimum sentence if convicted of 3 days in jail. Moreover, a person convicted of a domestic assault loses certain civil rights including the right to possess a weapon.
