There is no "minor assault". If you are charged with Class C assault - offensive touching - it is a fine only. If you are charged with a higher level, then it depends on your criminal history but the maximum on any misdemeanor is 1 year in jail. (Criminal mischief can be a felony or misdemeanor depending on the level.)

You might get a dismissal. You might get time in jail or prison. You might get probation.

You need a lawyer.
