In Illionois that could range from battery (high end) to disorderly conduct (low end), but could not be assault by definition. Might be different in the OPs jurisdiction, though.

I suppose that would depend upon whether this woman is guilty of assualt and/or battery; one does have the right to defend themself, and, if she was continuing to yell and scream at him after initial contact, then an argument could be made...

At any rate, it's now an issue for the law to deal with.

Thanks Tom this was the point of my whole post.
Well that and pulling a cigar from someones mouth likely resulted in no actual physical contact to the OP. While you may have a trespass to and destruction of private property's. No court in this state or most will find a battery has occurred. If I responded to the call I would be hooking the tough guys who punched a women or worse over a 10 dollar cigar. Even if there was an unwanted touching you would have a impossible time explaining how punch a woman in the face or using an force that inflicted injury was required.

Again come on boys, its a 10 dollar cigar and a miserable women with her kids.

Im not a lawyer or in law enforcement so Im not going to even try to decipher the law as its written or enforced.

...and some of the comments in this thread just make me shake my head.

Damn you TG I was trying to find a "still going" ad

That is insane. I do not know what I would do in that situation. I would be way too angry. The closest this has ever happened to me was a lady yelling at me for pipe smoking in front of starbucks (apparently your not allowed to smoke on their outside tables, which is the opposite in most places). She then went inside to complain to the store and they made me leave. A non smoking couple attempted to aid me, it didn't work but I liked their good intentions. But yeah, these situations are getting common.

Your a good man, that woulda ended differently had it been me.

As opposed to pnoon's dating life before marriage, which was defined as "Assault by Flatulence".

There was a definition of flatulence way back in the Cretaceous Period?

She came up from behind-ish, so by the time I saw the b*ch, it was too late, I don't really like going to jail, so I just verbally assaulted her, and I found out she has been charged with tresspassing, and destruction of property, since the pulling the cigar out of my mouth would be hard to prove anyway, $15<permanent record + court fees + any other fees

It all equaled out, plus I just got birthday bombed by my own fiance my luck!

Why pay $10 to see a movie, when a thread like this can one minute send my blood pressure through the roof in anger, and then, with news like this, restore my faith that somehow, some way, mankind is not doomed after all. Bravo.
