A:
You can be arrested and charged with Assault on the Tooth Fairy if an officer believes he has probable cause.
Just because you are charged doesn't mean the state will be able to prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt, especially if you hire a criminal defense attorney to fight the charge. However, you can be convicted of just about anything if you give up and enter a plea of Guilty or No Contest.
