Re: Intoxication assault 3rd degree

Since your cousin was arrested out-of-state on the failure to appear warrant, I expect no bond will be set until he appears before the judge who is hearing this case. A 3rd degree felony carries a range of punishment of 2-10 years in prison, and a maximum fine of $10,000.00. If your cousin has no prior felony convictions, he would be eligible for probation. Whether he actually receives probation is another question beyond the scope of our discussion. Thanks for writing in with your question.
