Here is the applicable CA Penal Code Section:
California Penal Code 245a1 - Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW)
Assault with a Deadly Weapon
PC 245(a)(1) reads: “Any person who commits an assault upon the person of another with a deadly weapon or instrument other than a firearm shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, three, or four years, or in a county jail for not exceeding one year, or by a fine not exceeding ten thousand dollars ...
Carrying a loaded gun at the same time adds an additional year to the total sentence. (PC 12022)
It will be interesting what this guy gets, but I doubt it’s going to be as little as 60 days in the county jail. Worst case it could be as long as five years.
Just the thought of him dreading this and paying legal fees is something, I guess.
