Unwarranted Physical Contact in Jones County GA
Non-consensual contact may be made with either a person or that persons extended personality. This means that when one person leans forward and yanks the watch off another, a battery has occurred, even though the first person did not actually touch the wrist of the second person. When 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 are committed. If the suspect only intended an assault causing the latter to apprehend a likely violent pulling of the watch but did not intend to actually complete the violent yank, but somehow his hand made contact with, and actually pulled off the watch, both an assault and a battery have occurred. If during the act of physically gesturing to violently pull the watch off, contact is in fact made and the watch is pulled from the others hand, a battery has been committed.
