I think assault is a felony. Hopefully, they will follow thru with the prosecution.
Felons can't vote in most places.
Assault is sometimes a felony, sometimes a misdemeanor, depending on information available at the time the charge is placed.
Unless they are democrats. Or give a fake name and vacant lot as their address.
"Felons can't vote in most places."
Sadly, that's more of an urban legend these days. Most convicted felons CAN vote, so long as they aren't in prison. If I recall correctly, as long as you aren't on parole (or in jail) for a felony in NC you can still vote.
