Yes, that can be expunged, but usually, you'll have to wait two years if it's a misdemeanor assault and three if it's a felony in order for the case to be eligible for expuction (there are sometimes exceptions to that, but not often). Unless you file a civil expunction case, the arrest and criminal case will remain on your record permanently.
