Because he is a repeating offender, his new 2nd degree assault charge is an automatic Class C felony. He's also facing two counts of domestic assault in the third degree, and because he's a first time third-degree offender, they are class A misdemeanors. However, he violated an order of protection I have against him, and is also being charged with a stalking charge. The stalking charge would normally be a misdemeanor, but since it's violating an order of protection in which there are pending domestic assault cases, it's an automatic class D felony. However, this is all law based on where I live. The best resource for you to contact would be the circuit attorney where your case is/should be filed.
