Non-consensual Contact in Columbia County GA

Non-consensual contact may be made with either a person or that persons extended personality. This means that if one person leans forward and pulls the watch off another, a battery has occurred, although the first person did not actually touch the hand of the latter. If this act was preceded with an intent to cause the other to fear an impending violent yank of the watch, both an assault and a battery have been committed. If the suspect only intended an assault making the latter to fear an impending violent yank of the watch however did not intend to actually complete the violent pull, and yet his hand made contact with, and actually pulled off the watch, both an assault and a battery have been committed. If in the act of physically gesturing to violently pull the watch off, contact is actually made and the watch is pulled from the latters hand, a battery is committed.
