What is a felonious assault?
According to Michigan law, a felonious assault is an assault with a dangerous weapon without intent to inflict bodily harm. Any person who assaults another with a gun, knife, or other dangerous weapon, but without intending to commit the crime of murder, and without intending to inflict bodily harm, shall be guilty of a felonious assault. For example, pointing a gun at someone without intending to harm them but intending to make them scared could be a felonious assault.
