What is the code for Assault/Battery with Other Deadly Weapon?

• A. 415B
• B. 415C
• C. 416
• D. 419

Answer: (A)

In these codes, the base number covers the general incident type, and the letter after it specifies the weapon involved. Assault and battery is grouped under the 415 set, and the letter flags the weapon category. The letter B is used to indicate an other deadly weapon, i.e., a weapon that is deadly but not a firearm or knife. So the code for Assault/Battery with Other Deadly Weapon is 415B. If the weapon were a firearm, or another category, a different suffix would apply, reflecting that specific weapon type.
