What is the max sentence on 4th degree assult?

Answer:
Every state is different; you can call the DA's office and get a sentencing guideline.
90 days probation, in my case.
It depends on what jurisdiction you're in. In many states, 4th Degree Assault is either a low class felony (1-5 years in state penitentiary) or maybe even a misdemeanor (up to 12 months in county jail). There can also be aggravating factors that alter the sentencing guidelines or the crime's status as a felony or misdemeanor (for instance, some jurisdictions elevate the punishment for Assault 4th if it involves spousal abuse). In any event, you would need to check the criminal code of your jurisdiction.
