What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Oregon.
I was walking on the sidewalk. I notice a truck that was going way over the posted speed limit so I flip him off as his truck roars by. He slams his breaks and jumps out of his truck. (parked in the traffic lane)
Runs straight up to me while shouting explicits and shoves me extremely hard. I respond with "don't f-n speed". This guy is extremely worked up over me flipping him off. He lunges at me again and that's when I punched him with a closed fist to the head. After I hit the guy I instantly turn around and walk away in a attempt to get away from this man. The ambulance was called and the guy did have some minor injuries not sure exactly what they are.
I was picked up and charged with assault 4 and site released with a court date which is in two days.
I tried to leave this as detailed as possible without making it super long. THanks! ^_^
My question is was I in the wrong? What will likely happen if I am convicted with no previous criminal record.
