That depends upon his criminal history, and the specific charges he faces. With an assault on a police officer, some period of incarceration is common.
Given the seriousness of the charges, your husband should consult a criminal defense lawyer. The lawyer can evaluate your husband's likely sentence under your state's laws and sentencing guidelines.
what happened in your case? I was charged with a similer case. A cop said I spit on him in the ambulance.
I have had people serve 90 days for spitting on me. It's battery on a peace officer and they tend to take it pretty serious in San Diego County.Quoting brianb82
